[PATCH 3.4 08/22] ext4: clarify error count warning messages

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx>

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.
