OCFS2: Allow huge (> 16 TiB) volumes to mount
The OCFS2 developers have already done all of the hard work to allow volumes larger than 16 TiB. But there is still a "sanity check" in fs/ocfs2/super.c that prevents the mounting of such volumes, even when the cluster size and journal options would allow it. This patch replaces that sanity check with a more sophisticated one to mount a huge volume provided that (a) it is addressable by the raw word/address size of the system (borrowing a test from ext4); (b) the volume is using JBD2; and (c) the JBD2_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_64BIT flag is set on the journal. I factored out the sanity check into its own function. I also moved it from ocfs2_initialize_super() down to ocfs2_check_volume(); any earlier, and the journal will not have been initialized yet. This patch is one of a pair, and it depends on the other ("JBD2: Allow feature checks before journal recovery"). I have tested this patch on small volumes, huge volumes, and huge volumes without 64-bit block support in the journal. All of them appear to work or to fail gracefully, as appropriate.
