No. This statement clamps 'count' at 2^32-1 (since the highest block number in
a non-extent file is 4294967295), which is necessary if the 'start' and 'end'
arguments are > 32bit arguments. That happens in the truncate case of
ext2fs_file_set_size2().
For example, if end=0x100000080 and start=0x80, end-start+1 = 1, which is not
the behavior that we want.
For the record, if end=~0ULL and start=0, this also ensures that count=~0U.
