4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 18db4b4e6fc31eda838dd1c1296d67dbcb3dc957 upstream.
If some metadata block, such as an allocation bitmap, overlaps the superblock, it's very likely that if the file system is mounted read/write, the results will not be pretty. So disallow r/w mounts for file systems corrupted in this particular way.
