Subject: [PATCH 03/25] mke2fs: don't let resize= turn on resize_inode when
 meta_bg is set

Passing the "-E resize=NNN" option to mke2fs sets the resize_inode
feature.  However, resize_inode and meta_bg are mutually exclusive
(and the feature flag parser enforces this); therefore, we shouldn't
allow resize_inode to sneak in the back door like this.
