Subject: [PATCH -next v3 4/5] ext4: simplify read_mmp_block fucntion

This patch is according to Jan Kara's suggestion:
I guess I would just get rid of sb_getblk() in read_mmp_block() and always
expect valid bh passed. The only place that passes NULL bh after this
patch is one case in ext4_multi_mount_protect() and that can call
sb_getblk() on its own. That way we can also simplify read_mmp_block()
prototype to:

static int read_mmp_block(struct super_block *sb, struct buffer_head *bh);
