Hi,  Ted

If you are right, I think this patch is necessary.

[PATCH] ext2: Fix to check unsupported filesystem blocksize

EXT2-fs defined that the max blocksize is:
        #define EXT2_MAX_BLOCK_SIZE	4960
and the min blocksize is:
        #define EXT2_MIN_BLOCK_SIZE	1024

But never check this in ext2_fill_super(). So mount will
always success even if the block size is larger than 4096.

This patch fixed the problem.
