Subject: [RFC PATCH 3/4] fs/super.c: introduce reverse superblock iterator and use it in emergency remount

Originally proposed by Amir as an extract from the android kernel:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/CAA2m6vfatWKS1CQFpaRbii2AXiZFvQUjVvYhGxWTSpz+2rxDyg@mail.gmail.com/

Since suspend/resume requires a reverse iterator, I'm dusting it off.
