Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix error when itable blocks is greater than s_itb_per_group

The following error occurs when mounting the ext4 image made by image
making tool:
"ext4_init_inode_table:1301:comm ext4lazyinit:Something is wrong with group
0: used itable blocks: 491; itable unused count: 0."

Currently all the inodes in block group0 and ext4 image is divided by
s_inodes_per_group. That leads to a hazard: we can't ensure all
s_inodes_per_group are divisible by s_inodes_per_block. For example, when
the s_inodes_per_group (equals to 7851) is divided by s_inodes_per_block
(which is 16), because 7851 is undivisible by 16, we get the wrong result
490, while 491 is expected.

So, we suggest that s_itb_per_group should equal to
DIV_ROUND_UP(s_inodes_per_group, s_inodes_per_block) instead of directly
getting the result from s_inodes_per_group/s_inodes_per_block.
