Subject: [PATCH] e2fsck: fix floating point precision error
Fix floating point precision error in e2fsck.
Commit 641b66bc7ee0a880b0eb0125dff5f8ed8dd5a160 fixed a floating
point precision error which can result in a search algorithm looping
forever. It can also result in an array index being out of bounds
and causing a segfault. Here are two more cases that need to be
fixed. I've just used the same fix from the that commit.
