Subject: [PATCH, E2FSPROGS] ext2fs_set_gdt_csum(): Force the last block group to have a valid block bitmap

From: Andreas Dilger <adilger@...ger.ca>

Never set the UNINIT_BLOCKS flag for the last group since the kernel
doesn't handle the case graefully if there is a full set of blocks in
each blockgroup marked UNINIT_BLOCKS.  The kernel should be fixed up,
but in the meantime this avoids hitting the problem, and is more
consistent with lazy_bg not marking the last group UNINIT.
