Well, all of the values involved are unsigned, so it's not a
signed/unsigned issue. We could give a better error message, but the
reality is if we can't trust the clock (and we can't really tell
between the clock skipping head briefly by a few weeks, and then set
back, and the case where the clock has been set back by two years),
e2fsck really should do a full check of the filesystem.
