Thanks, I've applied this as an AOSP cherry-pick.  (I've also
synchronized the upstream e2fsprogs git repo with the AOSP e2fsprogs
repo as of 43f6f573dd61 and updated go/aosp-e2fsprogs-reconciliation.
This commit is on the master branch, although the other AOSP commits,
being bug fixes, were landed first on the maint branch and then merged
into master.)
