Subject: [PATCH 2/3] ext4: make sure bitmaps and the inode table don't overlap with bg descriptors

It's really bad when the allocation bitmaps and the inode table
overlap with the block group descriptors, since it causes random
corruption of the bg descriptors.  So we really want to head those off
at the pass.
