1032988c71 ext4: fix block validity checks so they work correctly with meta_bg
The block validity checks used by ext4_data_block_valid() wasn't
correctly written to check file systems with the meta_bg feature.  Fix
this.

6fd058f779 ext4: Add a comprehensive block validity check to ext4_get_blocks()
To catch filesystem bugs or corruption which could lead to the
filesystem getting severly damaged, this patch adds a facility for
tracking all of the filesystem metadata blocks by contiguous regions
in a red-black tree.  This allows quick searching of the tree to
locate extents which might overlap with filesystem metadata blocks.

This facility is also used by the multi-block allocator to assure that
it is not allocating blocks out of the system zone, as well as by the
routines used when reading indirect blocks and extents information
from disk to make sure their contents are valid.
