Subject: [PATCH v2 0/9] ext4: avoid sysfs variables overflow causing BUG_ON/SOOB

Hello everyone,

This patchset is intended to avoid variables that can be modified via sysfs
from overflowing when stored or used and thus causing various problems.

"kvm-xfstests -c ext4/all -g auto" has been executed with no new failures.

V1->V2:
  Patch 1: Use kstrtouint() as suggested by Alexey and Honza.
  Patch 2: Adapted to patch 1 changes.
  Patch 3: Add Reviewed-by tag.
  Patch 4: Avoid useless loops as suggested by Ojaswin and rename
	   attr_group_prealloc to attr_clusters_in_group.
  Patch 5: New patch added to limit mb_best_avail_max_trim_order < 64
	   as Honza's suggestion. 
  Patch 6: Reordered and updated description.
  Patch 7: Add Reviewed-by tag.
  Patch 8: Keep unrelated variables on different lines as suggested by Honza.
  Patch 9: New patch to fix warnings found during compile checking.
