Mart G bfce328ade Kernel: Set unused block pointers in ext2 inodes to zero ...

e2fsck considers all blocks reachable through any of the pointers in
m_raw_inode.i_block as part of this inode regardless of the value in
m_raw_inode.i_size. When it finds more blocks than the amount that
is indicated by i_size or i_blocks it offers to repair the filesystem
by changing those values. That will actually cause further corruption.
So we must zero all pointers to blocks that are now unused.
