Subject: [PATCH] e2fsprogs: Check device id in advance to skip fake device
 name

Hi, Theodore and All,

It's a friendly reminder, maybe you are too busy to missed this email. :-)

In some cases, using resize2fs to resize one fs will return "fail".
Reproduce steps are as follows,
1. create 2 folders, for example "mnt" and "tmp"
2. mount /dev/sdb onto tmp as tmpfs
3. mount /dev/sdb onto mnt as ext4 or other normal file system 4. try to resize /dev/sdb, it FAILED! -> "Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock."
5. if mount mnt firstly, resize2fs command will succeed.

In check_mntent_file func, firstly try to find out the input device name in mtab_file line by line, and it will leave from loop once one item matched.
Then, check the mount point's st_dev of matched item, if it is not same with the input device's st_dev, it will return fail.
In this case, the first matched item in mtab_file is "tmp" mount point, it is only named as "/dev/sdb", which actually is not sdb's real mount point.
Finally, the name is matched, but st_dev is not matched, and then resize command fails.

Here, we check the st_dev immediately once the name is matched.
If st_dev not same, continue to next loop.
