Subject: [PATCH][64-BIT]ext2fs_extent_get() truncates block to 32 bits.

e2image (after enabling 64-bitness) was reporting a corrupt extent header
in a 16TiB file created on a 32TiB filesystem. Checking the on-disk extents
did not uncover any problem. Debugging e2image showed truncation in the
ext2fs_extent_get() routine. Code examination showed an inconsistency
on line 428:

blk = ext2fs_le32_to_cpu(ix->ei_leaf) +
((__u64) ext2fs_le16_to_cpu(ix->ei_leaf_hi) << 32);

blk is treated as a 64 bit quantity but it is declared blk_t. This
changes it to blk64_t. With this change, e2image has been running (in raw mode)
for a couple of days without error (but it has not finished producing an image
yet !-). Also, although I have not checked exhaustively, debugfs seems to produce
the correct set of extents for the big file (stat <13>) - without this patch,
the physical block number wrapped at the 32-bit limit.

The second change is not based on debugging, just code examination:
ext2fs_alloc_block2() has been modified in the 64-bit patch series (in the patch
called add_64-bit_alloc_interface) so that its second argument (the goal block) is
a blk64_t. However, extent_node_split() calls it with its second argument explicitly
cast to blk_t. That looks wrong.

There are some more blk_t's used in this file (extent.c), but they are in #ifdef DEBUG
code, so I have not examined them any closer and I have not changed them (yet?).
