If s_first_meta_bg is greater than the number block group descriptor
blocks, then reading or writing the block group descriptors will end
up overruning the memory buffer allocated for the descriptors. Fix
this by limiting first_meta_bg to no more than fs->desc_blocks. This
doesn't correct the bad s_first_meta_bg value, but it avoids causing
the e2fsprogs userspace programs from potentially crashing.
