#13549, Kernel oops while online resizing of an ext4 filesystem

if groups_per_flex < 2, sbi->s_flex_groups[] doesn't get filled out,
and every other access to this first tests s_log_groups_per_flex;
same thing needs to happen in resize or we'll wander off into
a null pointer.

Does it even make sense to set INCOMPAT_FLEX_BG if we only have a single group per flexbg? That is just a normal filesystem then. That would be a separate bug in mke2fs.
