When creating a filesystem with inodes bigger than 128 bytes, mke2fs
fails to clear out bytes beyond EXT3_GOOD_OLD_INODE_SIZE in all inodes
it creates (the journal, the filesystem root, and lost+found). We would
require a zeroed-out i_extra_isize field but we don't get it, so
disallow in-inode attributes for those inodes.

Add an i_extra_isize sanity check.
