3.16.62-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx>
commit 011fa99404bea3f5d897c4983f6bd51170e3b18f upstream.
Prevent BUG or corrupted file systems after the following:
mkfs.ext4 /dev/vdc 100M
mount -t ext4 -o sb=40961 /dev/vdc /vdc
resize2fs /dev/vdc
We previously prevented online resizing using the old resize ioctl.
Move the code to ext4_resize_begin(), so the check applies for all of
the resize ioctl's.
