e2fsprogs: Add a patch to speedup mkfs

See the patch description, this adds a tweak to an algorithm to improve
core-image-sato-sdk mkfs time from over 8 minutes to about 35s.

Needs discussion upstream but seems reasonable for our uses of it.

This adds in a rather hacky algorthim which starts where we finished
searching previously using a static variable rather than starting
from scratch if a hint isn't provided.
This was after noticing that mkfs.ext4 -F X -d Y was spending *lots*
of time in ext2fs_new_block2 called from ext2fs_bmap from ext2fs_file_write().
Numbers wise, this took a core-image-sato-sdk mkfs time from over
8 minutes to around 35 seconds.
