Subject: [PATCH] ext4: recalculate s_blockfile_groups during resize2fs

s_blockfile_groups is used to limit allocations for non-extent
files to block groups with block numbers less than 2^32.
However, it's not updated when the filesystem is resized online,
so the new groups are unavailable to non-extent files until a remount.

Fix this by updating the value in ext4_update_super() at
resize time.
