Subject: tune2fs -O ^metadata_csum not checking bitmap failures

When running tune2fs -O ^metadata_csum, disable_uninit_bg() is called to reset the gdt.  However, return value is not checked, which allows a failure (say, a block bitmap failure somewhere, among other errors) to continue through to rewrite_metadata_checksums()

This seems wrong; should not the rewrite occur only if disable/enable_uninit_bg() succeeds?
