Subject: [PATCH 19/39] e2fsck: opportunistically set block_uninit after pass
 5

At the end of pass5, set block_uninit on any group that's empty.  For
meta_bg filesystems this might save a small amount of disk accesses at
load time.

Since it's not an error for the flag not to be set even when it could,
don't bother if the fs is mounted and we're not fixing anything else.
