Subject: ext4: add allow_unsupported module parameter
Patch-mainline: never, SUSE-specific
References: fate#317919, SLE-8615, bsc#1149651, SLE-9243
Disallow access to filesystem with unsupported features by default but
leave a chance to access the filesystem via module parameter override
(taints kernel).
The status can be toggled during runtime by changing the exported module
parameter in /sys.
Currently we make bigalloc feature supported only in read-only mode as it is
not completely mature yet.
