Subject: [PATCH] libext2fs: use proper functions to set/clear block group
 flags

As Justin & Ric reported, something like this on a
22T (sparse) bigfile:

	e2fsprogs/misc/mke2fs -E lazy_itable_init=1 \
			      -O uninit_bg -b 4096 bigfile
	mount -o loop bigfile mnt/
	for I in `seq 1 5`; do mkdir mnt/$I; done
	umount mnt/
	e2fsprogs/e2fsck/e2fsck -f bigfile

would give us corrupted block group checksums:

	<other problems related to uninit snipped>
	One or more block group descriptor checksums are invalid.  Fix<y>? yes

	Group descriptor 6301 checksum is invalid.  FIXED.
	Group descriptor 7799 checksum is invalid.  FIXED.

There wer=re a few places which accessed bg_flags directly 
rather than using the helper functions; fixing these seems
to resolve the problem.
