The code to handle flex groups needs to be moved into
ext2fs_allocate_group_table(), and not put in
ext2fs_allocate_tables(), since resize2fs calls
ext2fs_allocate_group_table(), and we want resize2fs to do the right
thing for filesystems that have both the FLEX_BG and META_BG flags
set.  Speaking of which, we need to fix the kernel on-line resizing
code to allocate new blocks for filesystem metadata blocks using the
new placement algorithm for FLEX_BG && META_BG filesystems.

I'll fix this up for the 'pu' branch of e2fsprogs, as well as making
ext2fs_allocate_flex_groups static, but I'm not going to graduate this
to the 'next' branch just yet, since it needs a bit more testing,
specifically with resize2fs.
