Agreed. So, that's why I wrote this patch.

That's why I'd like to enable this only when we need full scan.

Yeah, rebuiling nat_bits in run time would be better, but can be applied
in future. But, since Android reboot procedure uses a timeout, if we exceed
it, we'll get unclean unmount which triggers another fsck, which doesn't
make sense at all.
