ext4: fix crash when accessing /proc/mounts concurrently
The crash was caused by a variable being erronously declared static in
token2str().
In addition to /proc/mounts, the problem can also be easily replicated
by accessing /proc/fs/ext4/<partition>/options in parallel:
$ cat /proc/fs/ext4/<partition>/options > options.txt
... and then running the following command in two different terminals:
$ while diff /proc/fs/ext4/<partition>/options options.txt; do true; done
This is also the cause of the following a crash while running xfstests
#234, as reported in the following bug reports:
