If the file system's inode table blocks in the last block group are located in the middle or the end of the block group, it's possible for resize2fs -M to use a size which will require relocating the inode table blocks in the last block group. This can lead to all sorts of problems, so solve it by simply guaranteeing that we will never do that.
