3.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 0548bbb85337e532ca2ed697c3e9b227ff2ed4b4 upstream.

Commit 8aeb00ff85a: "ext4: fix overhead calculation used by
ext4_statfs()" introduced a O(n**2) calculation which makes very large
file systems take forever to mount. Fix this with an optimization for
non-bigalloc file systems. (For bigalloc file systems the overhead
needs to be set in the the superblock.)
