[Buildroot] [PATCH v3 04/11] fs/ext2: allow reserving zero block for root

From: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998 at free.fr>

The previous default, zero, just meant "use the default value of the
filesystem generator", which happened to be 5% (the traditional value
for all ext-creating tools we've ever seen).

So, change the new default accordingly to 5%.
