Subject: [PATCH] resize2fs: don't try to resize below calculated minimum

Without a force flag, don't allow resize2fs to even start resizing
below what it thinks the minimum safe value is.

This may stop resizes which could otherwise proceed with a bit
of space still left, but seems like a reasonably safe thing to do.

(sorry, this should have been [PATCH 3/3] I guess, I did this
too iteratively)
