Add documentation for mount options and ioctls to
Documentation/filesystem/ext4.txt, which has not been udpated for some
time. Also add for ext4 sysfs tunables to the
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-fs-ext4 file, and fix a few
typographical errors in that file.

Enhance the inode allocator to take a goal inode number as a
paremeter; if it is specified, it takes precedence over Orlov or
parent directory inode allocation algorithms.
The extents migration function uses the goal inode number so that the
extent trees allocated the migration function use the correct flex_bg.
In the future, the goal inode functionality will also be used to
allocate an adjacent inode for the extended attributes.
Also, for testing purposes the goal inode number can be specified via
/sys/fs/{dev}/inode_goal. This can be useful for testing inode
allocation beyond 2^32 blocks on very large filesystems.

Add basic sysfs support so that information about the mounted
filesystem and various tuning parameters can be accessed via
/sys/fs/ext4/<dev>/*.
