Looks like I jumped the gun to fast acknowledging this patch. The
current patch doesn't run the second ext2fs_get_free_blocks() when
doing a search for block bitmap space.
Here is an updated patch.
commit a58058e85240c7834cd863efa35b21688e104047

Fix FLEX_BG offset
The offset for both inode bitmaps and inode tables is overshot by one
block causing a hole between the group of bitmaps and inode tables.
