ext4: don't allow r/w mounts if metadata blocks overlap the superblock
commit 18db4b4e upstream. If some metadata block, such as an allocation bitmap, overlaps the superblock, it's very likely that if the file system is mounted read/write, the results will not be pretty. So disallow r/w mounts for file systems corrupted in this particular way. Backport notes: 3.18.y is missing bc98a42c ("VFS: Convert sb->s_flags & MS_RDONLY to sb_rdonly(sb)") and e462ec50 ("VFS: Differentiate mount flags (MS_*) from internal superblock flags") so we simply use the sb MS_RDONLY check from pre bc98a42c in place of the sb_rdonly function used in the upstream variant of the patch.
