filefrag was actually converted from FIBMAP/FIGETBSZ to FIEMAP/statfs(2)
but apparently that didn't work well for some fs, so FIGETBSZ was
brought back from retirement to override b_size.
When ioctl(FIGETBSZ) fails filefrag continues with f_bsize without any
complains.

FYI, another utility in e2fsprogs that uses FIGETBSZ, copy_sparse, will
simply exit when ioctl(FIGETBSZ) fails. But copy_sparse only has
FIBMAP implementation so it is going to fail on overlay file anyway.

Cheers,
Amir.

    filefrag: fix block size value

    ioctl(FIGETBSZ) was used to get block size earlier but 2508eaa7
    (filefrag: improvements to filefrag FIEMAP handling) moved to fstatfs
    f_bsize which doesn't work well for many files systems.

    Block size returned using fstatfs isn't block size but "optimal
    transfer block size" as per man page.  Even stat st_blksize is
    "preferred I/O block size" and in may file systems it may even vary
    from file to file (POSIX).  This patch changes filefrag to use
    FIGETBSZ preferentially over f_bsize.

    [ Modified by tytso to add the fallback to f_bsize if FIGETBSZ fails
      for some reason ]
