Jan Kara 125850eb92 e2fsck: clarify overflow link count error message
When directory link count is set to overflow value (1) but during pass 4
we find out the exact link count would fit, we either silently fix this
(which is not great because e2fsck then reports the fs was modified but
output doesn't indicate why in any way), or we report that link count is
wrong and ask whether we should fix it (in case -n option was
specified). The second case is even more misleading because it suggests
non-trivial fs corruption which then gets silently fixed on the next
run. Similarly to how we fix up other non-problems, just create a new
error message for the case directory link count is not overflown anymore
and always report it to clarify what is going on.

	This is the new version (1.45.5) 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.
