Is t_quota_2off the culprit?

I discovered that at some point, configure.in got touched, which caused
configure to be re-run during a build.  Unfortunately --disable-quota is the
default, so the quota check part tests never got run, and that's why I never
noticed on subsequent runs of make check. :(

The problem is that on a ^extents filesystem (such as what t_quota_2off
creates), the end parameter of ~0ULL overflows the (end - start + 1)
calculation, effectively setting count to 0, and no blocks get punched.
libquota then zeroes the inode, and the blocks are lost.

Since block map files shouldn't really have more than 2^32 blocks anyway, I
think it's safe to clamp 'end' to 2^32 in the non-extent case.

I'll send a patch shortly.
