Come to think of it, if we're enabling metadata_csum /and/ resizing the inode,
we have to set EXT2_FLAG_IGNORE_CSUM_ERRORS before calling resize_inode. If we
don't, the library calls that resize_inode() makes will try to verify the
checksums (which haven't been set yet) and the operation will fail.
Will send patch, but at this point I'm wondering if it doesn't make more sense
for me to incorporate them into my patchbomb rather than let this series get
lost in the blizzard...
