[PATCH] Avoid disk sector_t overflow for >2TB ext3 filesystem
If ext3 filesystem is larger than 2TB, and sector_t is a u32 (i.e.
CONFIG_LBD not defined in the kernel), the calculation of the disk sector
will overflow. Add check at ext3_fill_super() and ext3_group_extend() to
prevent mount/remount/resize >2TB ext3 filesystem if sector_t size is 4
bytes.
Verified this patch on a 32 bit platform without CONFIG_LBD defined
(sector_t is 32 bits long), mount refuse to mount a 10TB ext3.
