Currently, the estimate of minimum filesystem size is using free blocks counter in the superblock. The counter generally doesn't get updated while the filesystem is mounted and thus the estimate is very unreliable for a mounted filesystem. For some usecases such as automated partitioning proposal to the user it is desirable that the estimate of minimum filesystem size is reasonably accurate even for a mounted filesystem. So use group descriptor counters of free blocks for the estimate of minimum filesystem size. These get updated together with block being allocated and so the resulting estimate is more accurate.
