This set of patches fixes CVE-2015-8952. The mbcache2 implementation and
ext2 patches are a clean cherry-pick from upstream. The ext4 patch however
is a backport to accomodate changes from patch:
  ext4: lock the xattr block before checksuming it
  (c6d5612f80923170dad06c04736984cc9bcc8568)
merged to fix LP:1658633

Jan Kara (3):
  mbcache2: reimplement mbcache
  ext2: convert to mbcache2
  ext4: convert to mbcache2
