It's actually not necessarily harmless; e2fsck could have already
assigned new bitmap and inode tables outside of the block group.  If
you want to enable this, you need to actually check to make sure all
of the block/inode bitmap blocks and inode tables are within their own
block group before allowing flex_bg to be cleared.
