I just checked in the following into the e2fsprogs maint branch.

    tune2fs: Add support to clear the resize_inode feature
    
    This requires an fsck aftwards.  We don't allow setting the
    resize_inode feature because extensive work to tune2fs or e2fsck to
    safely relocate blocks is necessary in order to reserve the blocks
    needed by the resize inode.
