Subject: [PATCH 3/4][e2fsprogs] Relax group descriptor checking.

From: Jose R. Santos <jrs@...ibm.com>

Relax group descriptor checking.

In order for tools such as dump2efs, e2fsck and debugfs to open a ext4
filesystem with FLEX_BG feature enable, some descriptor checking needs
to be relaxed.  This patch changes the group desciptor checking so
that bitmaps and inode tables can be located anywhere in the
partitions block range.

Eventually, a more thorough check would restrict bitmaps and inode
tables to be located at the beginning of a flex block group range.
Since the super block does not currently know about the number of
groups per flex group, this will do for now.
