From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit ae0f78de2c43b6fadd007c231a352b13b5be8ed2 upstream.

Make it clear that values printed are times, and that it is error
since last fsck. Also add note about fsck version required.
