Require mke2fs -F -F for really dangerous operations
Disambiguate the use of "-F" (force) flag for mke2fs to avoid dangerous
situations. The use of -F is needed for regular backing files and
for filesystems on whole block devices. It should NOT be confused
with mke2fs on an apparently-mounted or in-use filesystem.
