Baokun Li bf5b609524 ext4: move ext4_percpu_param_init() before ext4_mb_init()
[ Upstream commit 2705645134 ]

When running `kvm-xfstests -c ext4/1k -C 1 generic/383` with the
`DOUBLE_CHECK` macro defined, the following panic is triggered:

==================================================================
EXT4-fs error (device vdc): ext4_validate_block_bitmap:423:
                        comm mount: bg 0: bad block bitmap checksum

==================================================================

This issue can be reproduced using the following commands:
        mkfs.ext4 -F -q -b 1024 /dev/sda 5G
        tune2fs -O quota,project /dev/sda
        mount /dev/sda /tmp/test

With DOUBLE_CHECK defined, mb_group_bb_bitmap_alloc() reads
and validates the block bitmap. When the validation fails,
ext4_mark_group_bitmap_corrupted() attempts to update
sbi->s_freeclusters_counter. However, this percpu_counter has not been
initialized yet at this point, which leads to the panic described above.

Fix this by moving the execution of ext4_percpu_param_init() to occur
before ext4_mb_init(), ensuring the per-CPU counters are initialized
before they are used.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
