Subject: [PATCH 0/2] tests/ext4: Ensure resizes with sparse_super2 are handled correctly

As detailed in the patch [1], kernel currently does not support resizes
with sparse_super2 enabled.  Before the above patch, if we used the
EXT4_IOC_RESIZE_FS ioctl directly, wiht sparse_super2 enabled, the
kernel used to still try the resize and ultimatley leave the fs in an
inconsistent state. This also led to corruption and kernel BUGs.

This patchset adds a test for ext4 to ensure that the kernel handles
resizes with sparse_super2 correctly, and returns -EOPNOTSUPP. 

Summary:

Patch 1: Fix the src/ext4_resize.c script to return accurate error codes.
Patch 2: Add the ext4 test for checking resize functionality
