Subject: [PATCH 0/11] ext4: Cleanup read-only and fs aborted checks

Hello,

This series arised from me trying to fix races when the ext4 filesystem gets
remounted read-write and users can race in writes before quota subsystem is
prepared to take them. This particular problem got fixed in VFS in the end
but the cleanups are still good in my opinion so I'm submitting them. They
get rid of EXT4_MF_ABORTED flag and cleanup some sb_rdonly() checks.
