    ext4: fix in-superblock mount options processing · bd652ad1

    Fix a large number of problems with how we handle mount options in the
    superblock.  For one, if the string in the superblock is long enough
    that it is not null terminated, we could run off the end of the string
    and try to interpret superblocks fields as characters.  It's unlikely
    this will cause a security problem, but it could result in an invalid
    parse.  Also, parse_options is destructive to the string, so in some
    cases if there is a comma-separated string, it would be modified in
    the superblock.  (Fortunately it only happens on file systems with a
    1k block size.)
