Subject: [PATCH 4/4] ext3: Replace lock/unlock_super() with an explicit lock
for resizing
From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@....edu>
Use a separate lock to protect s_groups_count and the other block
group descriptors which get changed via an on-line resize operation,
so we can stop overloading the use of lock_super().
Crossport of 32ed5058ce90024efcd811254b4b1de0468099df
