  BUG: spinlock recursion on CPU#0, ifconfig/2420
  lock: terminate_lock.2+0x0/0x1c, .magic: dead4ead, .owner: ifconfig/2420, .owner_cpu: 0

While creating the stack trace, the unwinder uses the stack pointer to guess
the previous frame to read the previous stack pointer from memory.  The crash
happens, because the unwinder tries to read from unaligned memory and as such
triggers the unalignment trap handler which then leads to the spinlock
recursion and finally to a deadlock.

Fix it by checking the alignment before accessing the memory.

Pull ext4 bug fixes from Ted Ts'o:

 - Fix regression caused by removing CONFIG_EXT3_FS when testing some
   very old defconfigs

 - Avoid a BUG_ON when opening a file on a maliciously corrupted file
   system

 - Avoid mm warnings when freeing a very large orphan file metadata

 - Avoid a theoretical races between metadata writeback and checkpoints
   (it's very hard to hit in practice, since the race requires that the
   writeback take a very long time)
