[PATCH] e2fsck: reopen the file system with saved flags after a journal replay

After a journal replay, we close and reopen the file system so that
any changes in the superblock can get reflected in the libext2fs's
internal data structures. We need to save the flags passed to
ext2fs_open() that we used when we originally opened the file system.

Otherwise we could end up triggering the following error message when
checking a large (or bigalloc) file system after an unclean shutdown:

fsck.ext4: Filesystem too large to use legacy bitmaps while trying to re-open

Distributions will almost certainly want to backport this patch, since
it breaks running e2fsck on file system with the 64-bit or bigalloc
feature enabled
