Subject: [PATCH] libext2: advance group in ext2fs_open2 during swapping

Without this change, we go back to getting group descriptor
"0" each time we go around the "for i" loop.  It must properly
advance through the filesystem.

(I couldn't decipher the removed comment; maybe it was typed when
you thought you would do:

                        gdp = ext2fs_group_desc(fs, dest, j);

which would also work ... ?  It'd be clever, but I think my change
is more explicitly obvious.  Either way works.

We still have failing tests but at least nothing hangs now:
Tests failed: f_mmp f_mmp_garbage m_mmp t_mmp_1on t_mmp_2off
