ext4: Add sanity checks for the superblock before mounting the filesystem

This avoids insane superblock configurations that could lead to kernel
oops due to null pointer derefences.

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12371

Thanks to David Maciejak at Fortinet's FortiGuard Global Security
Research Team who discovered this bug independently (but at
approximately the same time) as Thiemo Nagel, who submitted the patch.
