ext2_get_block() should return -EFBIG if the block number is
too large for our block size. It returns -EIO and prints a warning
right now. Fix: don't generate bogus warnings (we can legitimately
get larger-than-maximum arguments; there is no way in hell VFS or VM
could know the ext2-specific size limits), return correct error value.
Documentation fixed to reflect the change. Additionally, ext2_get_branch()
became non-inlined - obviously correct, saves code size and makes the
things actually faster (it's too big for inlining).
