ext2fs_group_first_block2() returns the product of the group number
and the number of blocks per group (from the superblock). Unfortunately,
both of these are 32-bit quantities, so the multiplication result is
also 32 bits wide. It is then returned as a 64-bit quantity, but by then,
it's too late.

Cast one of the operands to blk64_t, so the multiplication will be done
in 64 bits.

e2fsck was complaining about a group that was marked BLOCK_UNINIT, but
had blocks in use (it turned out that a different group had blocks in
use, but the block numbers of the two different groups differed by
2^32, so this bug conflated them). With this change, this complaint
goes away. In addition, dumpe2fs produces the right blocks for all the
groups, whereas it was wrapping them at the 32-bit boundary previously.
