[PATCH] ext4: ignore ext3/ext2 only mount options

[PATCH] ext4: ignore ext3/ext2 only mount options

[Tom Gundersen]

There is a regression when using the ext4 module to mount
ext2 or ext3 filesystems: When mountoptions are used that are
supported by ext2 or ext3, but not by ext4 the mount fails.

This patch changes the failure into a warning. The case when
the ext4 module is not used for ext2/3 support is unchanged.

Thanks.  This patch will be slightly modified due to some cleanup and
refactorization in ext4's mount option handling code that I've been
doing.

Note: the entire patch series can be found here, for those people who
are not subscribed to the linux-ext4 list.
