Subject: [PATCH 2/3] mke2fs: reduce the range of cluster-size

From: Zheng Liu <wenqing.lz@...bao.com>

There are two bugs need to be fixed, which are about cluster-size.  Now the
range of cluster-size is from 1024 to 512M bytes.  Although with '-C 1024',
the cluster-size will be 4096 after making a filesystem because in
ext2fs_initialize() set_field() needs to check 'param->s_log_cluster_size' and
s_log_cluster_size is 0 as cluster-size is 1024.  Then s_log_cluster_size will
be assigned to s_log_block_size+4.  So we never set cluster-size to 1024.

Another bug is that when cluster-size is 512M EXT2FS_C2B will return 0.  So
s_blocks_per_group will be assigned to zero and we will meet a 'division by
zero' error.

Here we reduce the range of cluster-size and check s_blocks_per_group=0 to avoid
'division by zero' error.
