Merge commit '5bc66170dc486556a1e36fd384463536573f4b82' into x86/urgent

From Borislav Petkov <bp@amd64.org>:

Below is a RAS fix which reverts the addition of a sysfs attribute
which we agreed is not needed, post-factum. And this should go in now
because that sysfs attribute is going to end up in 3.7 otherwise and
thus exposed to userspace; removing it then would be a lot harder.

This is done as a merge rather than a simple patch/cherry-pick since
the baseline for this patch was not in the previous x86/urgent.

Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o:
"The big new feature added this time is supporting online resizing
using the meta_bg feature. This allows us to resize file systems
which are greater than 16TB. In addition, the speed of online
resizing has been improved in general.

We also fix a number of races, some of which could lead to deadlocks,
in ext4's Asynchronous I/O and online defrag support, thanks to good
work by Dmitry Monakhov.

There are also a large number of more minor bug fixes and cleanups
from a number of other ext4 contributors, quite of few of which have
submitted fixes for the first time."

ext4: make the zero-out chunk size tunable

Currently in ext4 the length of zero-out chunk is set to 7 file system
blocks. But if an inode has uninitailized extents from using
fallocate to preallocate space, and the workload issues many random
writes, this can cause a fragmented extent tree that will
unnecessarily grow the extent tree.

So create a new sysfs tunable, extent_max_zeroout_kb, which controls
the maximum size where blocks will be zeroed out instead of creating a
new uninitialized extent. The default of this has been sent to 32kb.
