ext4: implementation of a new ioctl called EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT

Add a new ioctl, EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT which swaps i_blocks and
associated attributes (like i_blocks, i_size, i_flags, ...) from the
specified inode with inode EXT4_BOOT_LOADER_INO (#5). This is
typically used to store a boot loader in a secure part of the
filesystem, where it can't be changed by a normal user by accident.
The data blocks of the previous boot loader will be associated with
the given inode.

This usercode program is a simple example of the usage:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  int fd;
  int err;

  if ( argc != 2 ) {
    printf("usage: ext4-swap-boot-inode FILE-TO-SWAP\n");
    exit(1);
  }

  fd = open(argv[1], O_WRONLY);
  if ( fd < 0 ) {
    perror("open");
    exit(1);
  }

  err = ioctl(fd, EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT);
  if ( err < 0 ) {
    perror("ioctl");
    exit(1);
  }

  close(fd);
  exit(0);
}

[ Modified by Theodore Ts'o to fix a number of bugs in the original code.]
