Subject: [PATCH 3.16 061/132] ext4: actually request zeroing of inode
 table after grow

3.16.74-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Kirill Tkhai <ktkhai@...tuozzo.com>

commit 310a997fd74de778b9a4848a64be9cda9f18764a upstream.

It is never possible, that number of block groups decreases,
since only online grow is supported.

But after a growing occured, we have to zero inode tables
for just created new block groups.

Fixes: 19c5246d2516 ("ext4: add new online resize interface")
