This function is maybe the longest function I have seen in the kernel.
It has more than one thousand lines. This makes us not easy to read and
understand the code. So I made some refactors. The first two patches did
some preparation to the goto labels so that we can factor out some
functions easily.
After this refactor this function is about 500 lines shorter. I did not
go further because I'm not sure if people like this kind of change. If
there is any bad side effects, please let me know. If you strongly
dislike it, I am ok to stop this refactor.
v2->v3:
Patch #7 define a null function when CONFIG_UNICODE is not enabled.
Add patch #14~16 to unify super block loading and move DIOREAD_NOLOCK
setting to ext4_set_def_opts().
Add some reviewed-by tags from Ritesh.
v1->v2:
some code improvements suggested by Jan Kara and add review tags.
