ext3: retry block allocation if new blocks are allocated from system zone
If the block allocator gets blocks out of system zone ext3 calls ext3_error.
But if the file system is mounted with errors=continue retry block allocation.
We need to mark the system zone blocks as in use to make sure retry don't
pick them again
System zone is the block range mapping block bitmap, inode bitmap and inode
table.
