Subject: [PATCH 06/10] tune2fs: prohibit toggling uninit_bg on live
filesystems
An internal customer followed an erroneous AskUbuntu article[1] to try to
change the UUID of a live ext4 filesystem. The article claims that you
can work around tune2fs' "cannot change UUID on live fs" error by
disabling uninit_bg, changing the UUID, and re-enabling the feature.
This led to metadata corruption because tune2fs' journal descriptor
rewrite races with regular filesystem writes. Therefore, prevent
administrators from turning on or off uninit_bg on a mounted fs.
