ext4: Improve ext4 Kconfig test 



Now that ext4 driver must be used to access ext3 filesystems, improve
the Kconfig help text to better explain that using ext4 driver to access
the filesystem is fully compatible with the old ext3 driver.

	  The ext4 filesystem will support mounting an ext3

	  filesystem; while there will be some performance gains from

	  the delayed allocation and inode table readahead, the best

	  The ext4 filesystem supports mounting an ext3 filesystem; while there

	  table readahead, the best performance gains require enabling ext4

	  features in the filesystem using tune2fs, or formatting a new

	  filesystem as an ext4 filesystem initially. Without explicit enabling

	  of ext4 features, the on disk filesystem format stays fully backward

	  compatible.



	  To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here. The

	  module will be called ext4.
