Kernel currently doesn't support resize of EXT4 mounted
with sparse_super2 option enabled. Earlier, it used to leave the resize
incomplete and the fs would be left in an inconsistent state, however commit
b1489186cc83[1] fixed this to avoid the fs corruption by clearly returning
-EOPNOTSUPP.
Test to ensure that kernel handles resizing with sparse_super2 correctly. Run
resize for multiple iterations because this sometimes leads to kernel crash due
to fs corruption, which we want to detect.

ext4: add check to prevent attempting to resize an fs with sparse_super2

I would like to add a few comments on the approach followed in this
test:
1. So although we check the return codes of the resize operation for
proper logging, the test is only considered to be passed if fsck
passes after the resize. This is because resizing a patched kernel
always keeps the fs consistent whereas resizing on unpatched kernel
always corrupts the fs.
2. I've noticed that running mkfs + resize multiple times on unpatched
kernel sometimes results in KASAN reporting use-after-free. Hence, if
we detect the kernel is unpatched (doesn't return EOPNOTSUPP on
resize) we continue iterating to capture this. In this case, we don't
run fsck in each iteration but run it only after all iterations are
complete because _check_scratch_fs exits the test if it fails.
3. In case we detect patched kernel, we stop iterating, and run fsck to
confirm success
