Subject: [PATCH 06/47] libext2fs: don't allow alloc_stats on bad inode/block
 numbers

Don't allow callers to feed bad block/inode numbers to
ext2fs_*_alloc_stats2, because evil callers (<cough>resize2fs<cough>)
can corrupt library state this way, leading to a crash.

(There will be a subsequent patch to resize2fs to fix its bad
behavior.)
