Theodore Ts'o 115d4b4b33 e2fsck: flush out the superblock and bitmaps before printing final messages
A user who sees the message

***** REBOOT LINUX *****

or

***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****

might think that e2fsck was complete even though we haven't finished
writing out the superblock or bitmap blocks, and then either forcibly
reboot or power cycle the box, or yank the USB key out while the
storage device is still being written (before e2fsck exits).

So rearrange the exit path of e2fsck so that we flush out the dirty
superblock/bg descriptors/bitmaps before we print the final message.
Also clean up this code so that the flow of control is easier to
understand, and add error checking to catch any errors (normally
caused by I/O errors writing to the disk) for these final writebacks.

README

	This is the new version (1.42.11) of the second extended file
system management programs.

	From time to time, I release new versions of e2fsprogs, to fix
bugs and to make the utilities more robust.  You can always find
information about the latest version at the the e2fsprogs web page,
which is:

	http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net

	The INSTALL file has instructions on building and installing
e2fsprogs.  Provisions for building Red Hat RPMs and Debian dpkg files
are supplied as well.

	In case of bugs in these programs, please contact Ted Ts'o at
tytso@mit.edu or tytso@alum.mit.edu.  See the e2fsck man page for
suggestions of what sort of information to include when submitting bug
reports for these programs.
