ext2fs: don't read group descriptors during e2label

tune2fs is used to make e2label duties.  ext2fs_open2() reads group
descriptors which are not used during disk label obtaining, but
takes a lot of time on large partitions.

This patch change ext2fs_open2(), so only initialized
superblock is returned. without block descriptors. This save
time dramatically.

There are already a couple of similar flags, EXT2_FLAG_SUPER_ONLY,
but I guess that doesn't quite do the right thing either?

The only minor nit I have is that the flag name should describe what
it does, rather than what it is being used for.  For example, a better
name would be "EXT2_FLAG_JOURNAL_ONLY" or similar, so that other
users might use it, instead of thinking it is specific to the label.

Cheers, Andreas
