Subject: [PATCH][e2fsprogs]tune2fs: refuse to unmark flex_bg via clear_ok_features

IIUC, clear_ok_features is the gateway for all features that can be
cleared by tune2fs. So refuse to unmark flex_bg via clear_ok_features
instead of dealing with it alone. Having flex_bg in clear_ok_features is
quite misleading.
