Resizing is very different from normal freeing before the block bitmap
are modified,  because the added blocks in super block are marked
used, thus they could not be used, for a mounted fs, it can continue
working, and the wrong block count could be fixed easily by e2fsck.
So I think we'd better not report an error to the fs.   Just my humble
opinion.

What about your opinions?
