ext3: Freeing blocks not in datazone

[Mark Lord]

One of my test systems here, running 2.6.25-rc8-git*,
just now crapped out with this in the tail end of dmesg:

[   20.927780] EXT3-fs error (device sda1): ext3_free_blocks: Freeing blocks not in datazone - block
[   20.928756] Aborting journal on device sda1.

I had just booted the system, and was simultaneously doing "rm -r" on an old kernel tree
while also doing mirrordir to refressh a different kernel tree from a master copy off NFS.

Not much else to say.  e2fsck seems to have recovered things,
and I've repeated the commands successfully after rebooting.
