4.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx>
commit 18db4b4e6fc31eda838dd1c1296d67dbcb3dc957 upstream.
If some metadata block, such as an allocation bitmap, overlaps the
superblock, it's very likely that if the file system is mounted
read/write, the results will not be pretty. So disallow r/w mounts
for file systems corrupted in this particular way.
