Subject: [PATCH] ext4: don't allow r/w mounts if metadata blocks overlap the
 superblock
Git-commit: 18db4b4e6fc31eda838dd1c1296d67dbcb3dc957
Patch-mainline: v4.17-rc1
References: bsc#1087007 CVE-2018-1094

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.
