ext4: don't update s_rev_level if not required
Don't update the superblock s_rev_level during mount if it isn't actually necessary, only if superblock features are being set by the kernel. This was originally added for ext3 since it always set the INCOMPAT_RECOVER and HAS_JOURNAL features during mount, but this is not needed since no journal mode was added to ext4. That will allow Geert to mount his 20-year-old ext2 rev 0.0 m68k filesystem, as a testament of the backward compatibility of ext4.
