OCFS2: Allow huge (> 16 TiB) volumes to mount 

The OCFS2 developers have already done all of the hard work to allow
volumes larger than 16 TiB.  But there is still a "sanity check" in
fs/ocfs2/super.c that prevents the mounting of such volumes, even when
the cluster size and journal options would allow it.

This patch replaces that sanity check with a more sophisticated one to
mount a huge volume provided that (a) it is addressable by the raw
word/address size of the system (borrowing a test from ext4); (b) the
volume is using JBD2; and (c) the JBD2_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_64BIT flag is
set on the journal.

I factored out the sanity check into its own function.  I also moved it
from ocfs2_initialize_super() down to ocfs2_check_volume(); any earlier,
and the journal will not have been initialized yet.

This patch is one of a pair, and it depends on the other ("JBD2: Allow
feature checks before journal recovery").

I have tested this patch on small volumes, huge volumes, and huge
volumes without 64-bit block support in the journal.  All of them appear
to work or to fail gracefully, as appropriate.
