Subject: [PATCH 08/31] libext2fs: Fix off-by-one error in file truncation

When told to truncate a file, ext2fs_file_set_size2 should start with the first
block past the end of the file.  The current calculation jumps one more block
ahead, with the result that it fails to hack off the last block.  Adding
blocksize-1 and dividing is sufficient to find the last block.
