ext4 shoots before it asks

Description

During processing a mounted request, ext4fs will do an ext4_filesystem_init(), then call ext4_filesystem_check_sanity(). If that fails, it will call ext4_filesystem_fini(). However, the init function actually writes the superblock, marking the file system as mounted, wile the fini function writes the superblock marking the file system as unmounted.

This is not very good practice. We should perform the sanity check first and only modify the on-disk image afterwards.
