ext4: reject mount if clusters/inodes per group are not 8-aligned
The block and inode bitmap checksums are computed over a whole number of bytes: ext4_inode_bitmap_csum_*() use EXT4_INODES_PER_GROUP(sb) >> 3 and ext4_block_bitmap_csum_*() use EXT4_CLUSTERS_PER_GROUP(sb) / 8 as the length passed to ext4_chksum(). If s_inodes_per_group or s_clusters_per_group is not a multiple of 8, the trailing fractional bits are excluded from the checksum. Those bits are then unprotected, and any incremental csum update path that assumes a byte-aligned bitmap can compute a checksum inconsistent with the full recalculation, corrupting the on-disk bitmap checksum. Reject such filesystems at mount time by adding the missing " & 7" alignment checks alongside the existing range validation.
