Subject: mke2fs: clarify inline data inode size error message
X-Git-Tag: v1.43-WIP-2015-05-18~161

mke2fs: clarify inline data inode size error message

The existing error message can be made more helpful by more clearly
implying the attempt to make a file system with undersized inodes is
failing and suggesting a corrective action.
