Subject: [patch 129/155] ext3: fix setup_new_group_blocks locking

From: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@...hat.com>

setup_new_group_blocks() manipulates the group descriptor block bh under
the block_bitmap bh's lock.  It shouldn't matter since nobody but resize
should be touching these blocks, but it's worth fixing up.
