Don't allow stdout and stderr from extfs scripts pollute the screen.

Bad news.  After your patch extfs gets stuck on output that exceeds 4
kilobytes.  The example is attached.  Try "cd lslR#lslR"

It looks like mc doesn't accept more data, so whatever program is trying
to write to stdout (awk in this case) gets stuck, and you have to kill it.

The problem can be observed on RedHat 8.0.
