4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Theodore Ts'o <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit 2dca60d98e241bea686004168f85208f215fc697 ] Previously, when an MMP-protected file system is remounted read-only, the kmmpd thread would exit the next time it woke up (a few seconds later), without resetting the MMP sequence number back to EXT4_MMP_SEQ_CLEAN. Fix this by explicitly killing the MMP thread when the file system is remounted read-only.
