ext4: Don't allow nonextenst mount option for large filesystem
The block mapped inode format can address only blocks within 2**32. This
causes a number of issues, the biggest of which is that the block
allocator needs to be taught that certain inodes can not utilize block
numbers > 2**32. So until this is fixed, it is simplest to fail
mounting of file systems with more than 2**32 blocks if the -o noextents
option is given.
