Prevent clean ext3 filesystems from mounting by default with the ext2 driver (with no journal!) by putting ext4 ahead of ext2 in the default probe order. This will have the effect of mounting ext2 filesystems with ext4.ko by default, which is a safer failure than hoping the user notices that their journalled ext3 is now running without a journal! Users who require ext2.ko for ext2 can either disable ext4.ko or explicitly request ext2 via "mount -t ext2" or "rootfstype=ext2". Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
