Add a zerofree mount option to the ext2 filesystem. This causes freed blocks to be filled with zeros. ext2_zero_blocks has an additional argument to specify whether or not zeroing is required: there's no point in zeroing blocks that have just come from the free list. Some rerrangement of code in xattr.c is required to ensure that ext2_zero_blocks is never called with a locked buffer.
