ext4: Refuse to mount filesystems with 64bit feature set
With e2fsprogs after 1.43 the 64bit and metadata_csum features are enabled by default. The metadata_csum feature changes how ext4_group_desc->bg_checksum is calculated, which would break write support. The 64bit feature however introduces changes such that it cannot be read by implementations that do not support it. Since we do not support this, we must not mount it.
