ext2: correct max file size computing

We need to calculate the max file size accurately if the total blocks
that can address by block tree exceed the upper_limit. But this check is
not correct now, it only compute the total data blocks but missing
metadata blocks are needed. So in the case of "data blocks < upper_limit
&& total blocks > upper_limit", we will get wrong result. Fortunately,
this case could not happen in reality, but it's confused and better to
correct the computing.
