Subject: [PATCH 07/16] resize2fs: Remove the real kilobytes rant from man page
commit 94f20cd51522dd718bc4a459ea65d72a722d1874
Remove the rant about the "real" kilobytes from the man page and just
make it more clear that the suffixed units are representing power-of-two
units as we do in mke2fs man page. Also add terabytes to the list.
