[PATCH] ext3: fix documentation of online resizing

Linux kernel mirror (for testing) git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git

kernel os linux

Undocument the non-working resize= mount option in ext3, and add some
references to the ext2resize package instead, which appears to be the only
proper way of doing online resizing of ext3 filesystems.
