Also, the other progress messages go to stderr, so "checking extents"
probably should, as well.

As a side note, it seems almost completely random whether we print to
stdout or stderr for any given message. That could probably use some
cleaning up for consistency. A quick run of e2fsck indicated that it
prints almost everything on stdout except for usage and administrative
problems. xfs_repair just seems to put everything in stderr. I
personally like the e2fsck approach. Anyone have any preference?

Cleaning up the messages is ongoing work, most error messages have been
converted. In case of 'check', I think that stdout is good to capture
normal and error messages (so no error messages are accidentally lost if
the user runs just "check > log" instead of "check >& log").

For that printf is still the way to print them. Besides the verbosity
level could be improved, we've had complaints about that since ever.

Patch applied.
