[PATCH] fix ext3 mounts at 16T

I need to do some actual IO testing now, but this gets things mounting for
a 16T ext3 filesystem.  (patched up e2fsprogs is needed too, I'll send that
off the kernel list)

This patch fixes these issues in the kernel:

o sbi->s_groups_count overflows in ext3_fill_super()

	sbi->s_groups_count = (le32_to_cpu(es->s_blocks_count) -
			       le32_to_cpu(es->s_first_data_block) +
			       EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) - 1) /
			      EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb);

  at 16T, s_blocks_count is already maxed out; adding
  EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) overflows it and groups_count comes out to 0.
  Not really what we want, and causes a failed mount.

  Feel free to check my math (actually, please do!), but changing it this
  way should work & avoid the overflow:

  (A + B - 1)/B changed to: ((A - 1)/B) + 1

o ext3_check_descriptors() overflows range checks

  ext3_check_descriptors() iterates over all block groups making sure
  that various bits are within the right block ranges...  on the last pass
  through, it is checking the error case

   [item] >= block + EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb)

  where "block" is the first block in the last block group.  The last
  block in this group (and the last one that will fit in 32 bits) is block
  + EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb)- 1.  block + EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) wraps
  back around to 0.

  so, make things clearer with "first_block" and "last_block" where those
  are first and last, inclusive, and use <, > rather than <, >=.

  Finally, the last block group may be smaller than the rest, so account
  for this on the last pass through: last_block = sb->s_blocks_count - 1;

(a similar patch could be done for ext2; does anyone in their right mind
use ext2 at 16T?  I'll send an ext2 patch doing the same thing if that's
warranted)
