Subject: [PATCH 3/4] e2fsck: Do not discard when in read only mode

When argument '-n' was specified and should run in read-only mode, we
should not attempt to discard anything. In order to do that we have to
check for E2F_OPT_NO flag and clear E2F_OPT_DISCARD flag if E2F_OPT_NO
is set.

This commit fixes the problem when we would mark inode tables as zeroed
(EXT2_BG_INODE_ZEROED) even when e2fsck is running in read-only mode. We
also move the check for E2F_OPT_NO so we can clear E2F_OPT_DISCARD as
early as possible.
