Subject: [PATCH 2/2] resize2fs: fix overhead calculation for meta_bg file systems

The file system overhead calculation in calculate_minimum_resize_size
was incorrect meta_bg file systems.  This caused the minimum size to
underflow for very large file systems, which threw resize2fs into a
loop generally lasted longer than the user's patience.
