Subject: [PATCH] ext4/super.c: Replace CONTIG_EXT{2,3}_FS by 
	CONFIG_EXT{2,3}_FS

Hi,

today I pulled ext4 for_linus GIT branch into linus-tree (2.6.24-rc2-git1).

Unfortunately, the build breaks here:
...
  CC [M]  fs/ext4/super.o
  CC [M]  sound/isa/wavefront/wavefront_fx.o
  CC [M]  drivers/ata/pata_acpi.o
fs/ext4/super.c: In function ‘ext4_fill_super’:
fs/ext4/super.c:2553: error: ‘ext3_fs_type’ undeclared (first use in
this function)
fs/ext4/super.c:2553: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
fs/ext4/super.c:2553: error: for each function it appears in.)
make[5]: *** [fs/ext4/super.o] Error 1
...

While investigating the problem I found several typos in fs/ext4/super.c.
One of them was introduced with:

commit 2c7532a9b5fc3c27775f59e28d5f1ee4b1a1052e
"ext4: Don't use delayed allocation by default when used instead of ext3"

Furthermore, I have set the following CONFIG_EXT*FS* parameters:

$ zgrep CONFIG_EXT /proc/config.gz | grep FS
CONFIG_EXT2_FS=m
CONFIG_EXT2_FS_XATTR=y
CONFIG_EXT2_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_EXT2_FS_SECURITY=y
# CONFIG_EXT2_FS_XIP is not set
CONFIG_EXT3_FS=m
CONFIG_EXT3_FS_XATTR=y
CONFIG_EXT3_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_EXT3_FS_SECURITY=y
CONFIG_EXT4_FS=m
CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR=y
CONFIG_EXT4_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_EXT4_FS_SECURITY=y

My patch is not fixing the problem, just the typos.
Please have a closer look into it, thanks.
