Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/3] ext4: Add blocks added during resize to bitmap

With this change new blocks added during resize
are marked as free in the block bitmap and the
group is flagged with EXT4_GROUP_INFO_NEED_INIT_BIT
flag. This make sure when mballoc tries to allocate
blocks from the new group we would reload the
buddy information using the bitmap present in the disk.
