Check this is useless: there is already error checking done by getopt
itself, because the -b option *must* have an argument. Indeed, the
current mke2img behaves like this:

$ ./package/mke2img/mke2img -b
mke2img: option 'b' expects a mandatory argument

So it is already checked that ${nb_blocks} cannot be empty.

See my reply to the previous commit: I don't see why 0 should be
checked specifically. Please explain in the commit log why it should be.

Thanks!
