Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Fix FLEX_BG and uninit group usage.

With FLEX_BG we allocate block bitmap, inode bitmap, and
inode table outside the group. So when initialzing the
uninit block group we don't need to set bits corresponding
to these meta-data in the bitmaps. Also return the right
number of free blocks when counting the available free
blocks in uninit group.
