Register ext4 filesystem as ext3dev filesystem in kernel.

Why confuse users with the name "ext3dev"? If a filesystem lives in
fs/blah/, it's registered as "blah" and can be mounted with "-t blah".
Just register the filesystem as "ext4" and mark it "EXPERIMENTAL" in
Kconfig.

We had this discussion on LKML. There were those who were concerned
that it would not be enough just to mark it be EXPERIMENTAL.
