PATCH 1/1 e2fsprogs: misc/mke2fs.8.in: Update default inode size description

Since a23b50cd ("mke2fs: warn about missing y2038 support when formatting fresh ext4 fs"), the default inode size is 256 bytes for all filesystems, including small and floppy, except for the Hurd since it currently only supports 128-byte inodes.
