Baokun Li cab8cbcb92 ext4: enable block size larger than page size
Since block device (See commit 3c20917120 ("block/bdev: enable large
folio support for large logical block sizes")) and page cache (See commit
ab95d23bab ("filemap: allocate mapping_min_order folios in the page
cache")) has the ability to have a minimum order when allocating folio,
and ext4 has supported large folio in commit 7ac67301e8 ("ext4: enable
large folio for regular file"), now add support for block_size > PAGE_SIZE
in ext4.

set_blocksize() -> bdev_validate_blocksize() already validates the block
size, so ext4_load_super() does not need to perform additional checks.
Here we only need to add the FS_LBS bit to fs_flags.

In addition, block sizes larger than the page size are currently supported
only when CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is enabled. To make this explicit,
a blocksize_gt_pagesize entry has been added under /sys/fs/ext4/feature/,
indicating whether bs > ps is supported. This allows mke2fs to check the
interface and determine whether a warning should be issued when formatting
a filesystem with block size larger than the page size.
