Subject: [PATCH 3.16 27/63] ext4: always check block group bounds in
 ext4_init_block_bitmap()

3.16.58-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@....edu>

commit 819b23f1c501b17b9694325471789e6b5cc2d0d2 upstream.

Regardless of whether the flex_bg feature is set, we should always
check to make sure the bits we are setting in the block bitmap are
within the block group bounds.
