[PATCH 4/4] ext4: add sanity checking to count_overhead()

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
Date: 2016-11-18 18:38:49
Subsystem: ext4 file system, filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: "Theodore Ts'o", Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

The commit "ext4: sanity check the block and cluster size at mount
time" should prevent any problems, but in case the superblock is
modified while the file system is mounted, add an extra safety check
to make sure we won't overrun the allocated buffer.
