The bitmap superblock is less than 512B. The current code will only copy the superblock to a new page and write the whole 512B, which will zero the the data after the superblock. Unfortunately the data could include bitmap, which we should preserve. The patch will make superblock read do 4k chunk and we always copy the 4k data to new page, so the superblock write will old data to disk and we don't change the bitmap.
