[PATCH] ext4: Register ext[23] support only after successful ext4 registration

[Marc Aurèle La France]

Register ext4 as a "replacement" for ext2 and ext3 only after ext4 itself has
been successfully registered.  As a side effect, this allows
unregister_as_ext[23]() to be inlined.

This change is not eligible for stable@.

Please Reply-To-All.

Thanks and have a great day.

Marc.
