e2fsck: update j_tail_sequence after recovery

When journal is released, s_sequence is set to j_tail_sequence.
But, currently, even if the recovery process is successfully completed,
the j_tail_sequence and, finally, s_sequence are never changed. By this,
when we repeat doing power-off the device suddenly and executing e2fsck
without full scan before mount, the s_sequence number will never change
and, in a very rare case, newly generated journal logs will be
surprisingly grafted to the old journal logs. In this case, out-of-date
metadata log can be replayed on the filesystem area and the filesystem
can be crashed unintentionally by journal recovery process. Therefore,
we need to update j_tail_sequence after recovery process is successfully
completed in e2fsck.

Youngjin had repeated this test and found the problem. With our test,
the filesystem crash occurred within 4 hours.
