Change e2fsck to open non-mounted filesystems in exclusive mode

Thanks to Andreas Dilger for this idea.  If the filesystem is not mounted,
e2fsck will open it in exclusive mode to prevent the a confused/careless
system administrator from mounting the filesystem while the filesystem
check is taking place, which could cause all sorts of problems.
