[PATCH] ext2fs sb= mount option fix (kernel 2.4.25)

[Andrew Church]

     The following patch fixes a bug in the processing of the sb=
(alternate superblock) mount option for ext2: for devices with 1024-byte
blocks, the value from the option is never actually used.  This patch is
for kernel 2.4.25.  2.6.5 also has an issue with sb=, and I'll send a patch
for that separately.
