This patch series enables a future version of tune2fs to be able to modify certain parts of the ext4 superblock without to write to the block device.
The first patch fixes a potential buffer overrun caused by a maliciously moified superblock. The second patch adds support for 32-bit uid and gid's which can have access to the reserved blocks pool. The last patch adds the ioctl's which will be used by tune2fs.

Unlike other strings in the ext4 superblock, we rely on tune2fs to make sure s_mount_opts is NUL terminated. Harden parse_apply_sb_mount_options() by treating s_mount_opts as a potential __nonstring.
