Avoid growing the file system to an extent so that the last block
group is too small to hold all of the metadata that must be stored in
the block group.
This problem can be triggered with the following reproducer:
umount /mnt
mke2fs -F -m0 -b 4096 -t ext4 -O resize_inode,^has_journal \
-E resize=1073741824 /tmp/foo.img 128M
mount /tmp/foo.img /mnt
truncate --size 1708M /tmp/foo.img
resize2fs /dev/loop0 295400
umount /mnt
e2fsck -fy /tmp/foo.img
