It would also be good to get an ext4 patch to save the calculated
overhead to s_overhead_clusters if the kernel finds it unset?
That isn't any less accurate than recomputing it each time, and
avoids extra overhead on each mount for filesystems that did not
get it set at mke2fs time.

On the other hand, would it be wrong if the bad blocks are stored
in "s_overhead_clusters"?

In this case, should the bad block numbers be converted to
clusters during the second iteration?

Should we consider to always store the overhead value into the superblock,
regardless of whether bigalloc is enabled or not?
