Subject: [PATCH 06/24] e2fsck: don't offer to recreate the journal if fsck
 is aborting due to bad block bitmaps

If e2fsck knows the bitmaps are bad at the exit (probably because they
were bad at the start and have not been fixed), don't offer to
recreate the journal because doing so causes e2fsck to abort a second
time.
