Subject: [PATCH] lib/ext2fs: Validity checks for ext2fs_inode_scan_goto_blockgroup()

We don't validate the 'group' argument, so it's easy to get underflows
or crashes here.

This resolves issues seen in ureadahead, when it uses an old packfile
(with mismatching group indices) with a new filesystem.
