Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 55/61] e2fsck: fix readahead for pass1 without pfsck

From: Wang Shilong <wshilong@....com>

If admin try fsck without -m option, codes try old
behavior, thread information won't be inited either.
@et_group_end is 0 thus readahead for pass1 will be
totally disabled.

With the patch applied, we could get same performance
number without pfsck as before.
