commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=3286a4d6aa2707e9dcdcb26e7c391bd7a07eddad
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

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%.
