ext2: statfs speed up

This is a patch that speeds up statfs.  It is very simple - the "overhead"
calculation, which takes a huge amount of time for large filesystems, never
changes unless the size of the filesystem itself changes.  That means we can
store it in memory and only recalculate if the filesystem has been resized
(almost never).

It also fixes a minor problem that we never update the on-disk superblock free
blocks/inodes counts until the filesystem is unmounted.  While not fatal, we
may as well update that on disk when we have the information, and it makes
things like debugfs and dumpe2fs report a bit more accurate info.
