libext2fs: Round up the bitmap size when allocating a new bitmap
The x86 BT assembly instructure can overshoot the end of a bit array when testing a bit at the end of the bit array, even if it never needs to look at those memory locations. This can cause a spurious segmentation fault. If we allocate a little extra memory, it avoids this problem. See: http://faydoc.tripod.com/cpu/bt.htm This doesn't happen on Linux, probably because of the glibc's malloc() function works, but apparently it's a major problem on the *BSD operating systems.
