Subject: [PATCH 0/3] ext4: Fix potential races when performing online resizing

This patch series fixes 2 additional races between array resizing and
array element access when performing online resizing of the arrays
s_group_info and s_flex_groups.

These patches apply on top of the patch:
[PATCH RFC] ext4: fix potential race between online resizing and write operations

The macro sbi_array_rcu_deref() is introduced for simplicity but can be
removed if undesired.

Tested by performing the following:
truncate -s 100G /tmp/foo
sudo bash -c 'while true; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/xxx bs=1M count=1; sync; \
rm /mnt/xxx; done' &
while true; do mkfs.ext4 -b 1024 -E resize=26213883 /tmp/foo 2096635 -F; \
sudo mount -o loop /tmp/foo /mnt; sudo resize2fs /dev/loop0 26213883; \
sudo umount /mnt; done
