libext2fs: fix block iterator for extents when truncating inodes
When e2fsck uses the block iterator to release the blocks in an
extent-mapped inode, when the last block in an extent is removed, the
current extent has been removed and the extent cursor is now pointing
at the next inode. But the block iterator code doesn't know that. So
when it tries to go the next extent, it will end up skipping an
extent, and so the inode will be incompletely truncated.
The fix is to go to the next extent before calling the callback
function for the current extent. This way, regardless of whether the
current extent gets removed, the extent cursor is still pointing at
the right place.

e2fsck: handle an already recovered journal with a non-zero s_error field
If a file system was remounted read-only after a file system
corruption is detected, and then that file system is mounted and
unmounted by the kernel, the journal would have been recovered, but
the kernel currently leaves the s_errno field still set. This is
arguably a bug, since it has already propgated the non-zero s_errno
field to the file system superblock, where it will be retained until
e2fsck has been run.
However, e2fsck should handle this case for existing kernel by
checking the journal superblock's s_errno field even if journal
recovery is not required.
Without this commit, e2fsck would not notice anything wrong with the
file system, but a subsequent mount of the file system by the kernel
would mark the file system's superblock as needing checking (since the
journal's s_errno field would still be set), resulting an full e2fsck
run at the next reboot, which would find nothing wrong --- and then
when the file system was mounted, the whole cycle would repeat again.
I had seen reports of this in the past, but it wasn't until recently
that I realized exactly how this had come about, since normally e2fsck
would be run automatically before the file system is mounted again,
thus avoiding this problem. However, a user using a rescue CD who
didn't run e2fsck before mounting the a file system in this condition
could trigger this situation, and unfortunately, with previous
versions of e2fsprogs and the kernel, there would be no way out no
matter what the user tried to do.

e2fsck: fix checks done for mounted vs. read-only
Currently, if e2fsck is run without the "-n" flag (i.e. it
might modify the filesystem), there is no guarantee that it will
open the filesystem with the EXCLUSIVE flag (i.e. O_EXCL) to
prevent the block device from being checked (in most cases this
means mounted, but it could also be an MD/LVM member device).
Conversely, if e2fsck is run with "-n" (i.e. read-only), and
/etc/mtab or /proc/mounts does not report the block device as
mounted then e2fsck thinks the filesystem is unmounted. In this
case, e2fsck incorrectly sets the EXCLUSIVE flag, which causes
the check to fail, even though e2fsck is running read-only.
To fix this, do not open with EXCLUSIVE if it is a read-only check,
and always open with EXCLUSIVE if the filesystem might be changed.
This also prevents filesystem mounts while e2fsck is running.
Also refuse allow e2fsck to run at all if the filesystem is BUSY.
The e2fsck check_mount() was checking for MOUNTED, but not BUSY,
and it should refuse to run outright if the block device is BUSY.
The previous MOUNTED heuristics pre-date the O_EXCL reservation
by the kernel, so there could be uncertainty due to stale /etc/mtab
data, but with newer kernels a busy device should never be modified.

resize2fs: use EXT2_FLAG_64BITS
By passing EXT2_FLAG_64BITS to ext2fs_open2() we can avoid some
unnecessary redirection in critical paths. While resize2fs does not
currently otherwise support so big filesystems that this would matter,
passing this flag is entirely harmless and only tells libext2fs that
the caller has been recompiled against current headers.
With this change the CPU time needed to shrink a 100G filesystem drops
by 20%.

libext2fs: move a modulo operation out of a hot loop.
Filesystem shrinking in particular is a heavy user of this loop in
ext2fs_new_inode(). This change makes resize2fs use 24% less CPU time
for shrinking a 100G filesystem.

e2fsck: remove EXT4_EOFBLOCKS_FL flag handling
We've decided to remove EOFBLOCKS_FL from the ext4 file system entirely,
because it is not actually very useful and it is causing more problems
than it solves. We're going to remove it from e2fsprogs first and then
after the new e2fsprogs version is common enough we can remove the
kernel part as well.
This commit changes e2fsck to not check for EOFBLOCKS_FL. Instead we
simply search for initialized extents past the i_size as this should not
happen. Uninitialized extents can be past the i_size as we can do
fallocate with KEEP_SIZE flag.
Also remove the EXT4_EOFBLOCKS_FL from lib/ext2fs/ext2_fs.h since it is
no longer needed.

mke2fs: add option to use direct I/O (mke2fs -D)
This can be useful when using mke2fs on loaded servers, since
otherwise mke2fs can dirty a huge amount of memory very quickly,
leading to other applications not being happy at all.

e2fsck: report ext2fs_open2() and ext2fs_check_desc() errors
Print the actual errors returned by ext2fs_open2() and
ext2fs_check_desc() before we fall back to the backup block group
descriptors so that it's easier to see if there is some obscure
failure that is causing e2fsck to think that it should use the backup
block group descriptors.
