PATCH 1/1 libext2fs: use proper functions to set/clear block group flags

As Justin & Ric reported, something like this on a 22T (sparse) bigfile:

e2fsprogs/misc/mke2fs -E lazy_itable_init=1 \
-O uninit_bg -b 4096 bigfile
mount -o loop bigfile mnt/
for I in seq 1 5; do mkdir mnt/$I; done umount mnt/
e2fsprogs/e2fsck/e2fsck -f bigfile

would give us corrupted block group checksums:

<other problems related to uninit snipped>
One or more block group descriptor checksums are invalid. Fix<y>? yes

Group descriptor 6301 checksum is invalid. FIXED. Group descriptor 7799 checksum is invalid. FIXED.

There wer=re a few places which accessed bg_flags directly rather than using the helper functions; fixing these seems to resolve the problem.

Well, it resolves that problem, but further testing reveals another lurking behind it, so expect more patches ;)

Thanks for the update. :) My test just finished with, unfortunately, the same results.

V2: use _flag_clear not _flags_clear, which clears all flags ...

Even w/ this patch, I'm still getting bitmap mismatches, off by a 33rd bit.

Added to the e2fsprogs 64-bits patch set (and thus the pu branch).
