Subject: [PATCH] e2fsck: avoid overflow in pass5 check_block_end()

When making a filesystem as in:

mke2fs -E lazy_itable_init=1 -O uninit_bg -b 4096 bigfile 4294967298

a subsequent fsck would result in:

Pass 5: Checking group summary information
Internal error: fudging end of bitmap (3)
e2fsck: aborted

This is because check_block_end() was overflowing in the calculation
for "end", and giving it a value of -1 (0xFFFF....) which eventually
ended up tripping up a test in ext2fs_fudge_generic_bmap_end,

        if (end > bitmap->real_end)
                return neq;

Fix another such error in read_bitmaps() as well.

lib/ext2fs/imager.c likely has similar problems but it looks like
it has no 64-bit treatment at all yet.
