Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Subject: [PATCH] ext4: disallow changing journal_csum
 option during remount

ext4 does not permit changing the metadata or journal checksum feature
flag while mounted.  Until we decide to support that, don't allow a
remount to change the journal_csum flag (right now we silently fail to
change anything).
