Subject: [PATCH] tune2fs: Disallow tune2fs to set inode size larger than block
 size

Disallow tune2fs command to set inode size larger than
block size to ext3 and ext4 (^flex_bg).
Without this patch, tune2fs makes FS unmountable.

Steps to reproduce:

1.Create ext4 without flex_bg (or just create ext3)
  # mke2fs -t ext4 -O ^flex_bg DEV

2.Set inode size larger than block size
  # tune2fs -I 8192 DEV
  
3. We failed to mount FS
  # mount DEV MP
    mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda7,
           missing codepage or helper program, or other error
           In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
           dmesg | tail  or so
