Subject: Suggested change for superblock journal hint

Hi,

I encountered the scenario that a full fsck check was being run
unnecessarily when the major / minor number of my external journal was
being fixed by fsck. This PR changes that so that this change does
trigger the full fsck run: github.com/tytso/e2fsprogs/pull/26
