ext4: use atomic64_t for the per-flexbg free_clusters count
commit 90ba983f6889e65a3b506b30dc606aa9d1d46cd2 upstream.
A user who was using a 8TB+ file system and with a very large flexbg
size (> 65536) could cause the atomic_t used in the struct flex_groups
to overflow. This was detected by PaX security patchset:
http://forums.grsecurity.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3289&p=12551#p12551
This bug was introduced in commit 9f24e4208f7e, so it's been around
since 2.6.30. :-(
Fix this by using an atomic64_t for struct orlav_stats's
free_clusters.
