Don't update the superblock s_rev_level during mount if it isn't
actually necessary, only if superblock features are being set by
the kernel.  This was originally added for ext3 since it always
set the INCOMPAT_RECOVER and HAS_JOURNAL features during mount,
but this is not needed since no journal mode was added to ext4.

That will allow Geert to mount his 20-year-old ext2 rev 0.0 m68k
filesystem, as a testament of the backward compatibility of ext4.

Fixes: 0390131ba84f ("ext4: Allow ext4 to run without a journal")

Thanks for your patch!

This doesn't compile, as ext4_update_dynamic_rev() is used before its
declaration:

In file included from fs/ext4/bitmap.c:12:0:
fs/ext4/ext4.h: In function ‘ext4_set_feature_dir_prealloc’:

Moving the declaration up fixes that.

Hence with that fixed:

Thanks, applied.  I had to move the declaration of
ext4_update_dynamic_rev() earlier as Geert suggested.
