I'd rewrite the commit description a bit:

The field free_cluster_count in struct ext4_new_group_data should be
in units of clusters.  In verify_group_input() this field is being
filled in units of blocks.  Fortunately, we don't support online
resizing of bigalloc file systems, and for non-bigalloc file systems,
the cluster size == block size.  But fix this in case we do support
online resizing of bigalloc file systems in the future.

Other than that:
