Subject: [PATCH 4.4 48/80] ext4: sysfs: print ext4_super_block fields as little-endian

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

commit a4d2aadca184ece182418950d45ba4ffc7b652d2 upstream.

While working on extended rand for last_error/first_error timestamps,
I noticed that the endianess is wrong; we access the little-endian
fields in struct ext4_super_block as native-endian when we print them.

This adds a special case in ext4_attr_show() and ext4_attr_store()
to byteswap the superblock fields if needed.

In older kernels, this code was part of super.c, it got moved to
sysfs.c in linux-4.4.
