Subject: [PATCH] ext4: add block bitmap validation

When a new block bitmap is read from disk in read_block_bitmap()
there are a few bits that should ALWAYS be set.  In particular,
the blocks given corresponding to block bitmap, inode bitmap and inode tables.
Validate the block bitmap against these blocks.
