Subject: [PATCH 38/74] libext2fs: mark group data blocks when loading block
 bitmap

The kernel[1] and e2fsck[2] both react to a BLOCK_UNINIT group by
calculating the block bitmap that's needed to show all the group
blocks for that group (if any) and using that.  However, when reading
bitmaps from disk, libext2fs simply imports a block of zeroes into the
bitmap, without bothering to check for group blocks.  This erroneous
behavior results in the filesystem having a block bitmap that does not
accurately reflect disk contents, and worse yet makes it seem as
though superblocks, group descriptors, bitmaps, and inode tables are
"free" space on disk.

So, fix the block bitmap loading routines to calculate the correct
block bitmap for all groups and load it into the main fs block bitmap.

This also fixes bogus debugfs output such as:

Group 1: (Blocks 8193-16384) [INODE_UNINIT, BLOCK_UNINIT]
  Checksum 0x1310, unused inodes 512
  Backup superblock at 8193, Group descriptors at 8194-8217
  Reserved GDT blocks at 8218-8473
  Block bitmap at 283 (bg #0 + 282), Inode bitmap at 299 (bg #0 + 298)
  Inode table at 442-569 (bg #0 + 441)
  7911 free blocks, 512 free inodes, 0 directories, 512 unused inodes
  Free blocks: 8193-16384
  Free inodes: 513-1024

Notice how the "free blocks" range includes the backup sb & GDT area
and doesn't match the free block count.

Worse yet, debugfs' testb command will report those group descriptor
blocks as not being in use unless the user also instructs debugfs to
find a free block first.  That is a rather surprising result:

debugfs:  testb 8194
Block 8194 not in use
debugfs:  ffb 1 16380
Free blocks found: 16380
debugfs:  testb 8194
Block 8194 marked in use

Also, remove the part of check_block_uninit() that "fixes" the bitmap
since we're doing that at bitmap load time now.
