[PATCH 6/7] ext4: set type of ac_groups_linear_remaining to __u32 to avoid overflow

[Baokun Li]

Now ac_groups_linear_remaining is of type __u16 and s_mb_max_linear_groups
is of type unsigned int, so an overflow occurs when setting a value above
65535 through the mb_max_linear_groups sysfs interface. Therefore, the
type of ac_groups_linear_remaining is set to __u32 to avoid overflow.
