If the block allocator gets blocks out of system zone ext2 calls
ext2_error. But if the file system is mounted with errors=continue
retry block allocation. We need to mark the system zone
blocks as in use to make sure retry don't pick them again
System zone is the block range mapping block bitmap, inode bitmap
and inode table.
