[PATCH] mke2fs: check extents feature when bigalloc feature is enabled

[PATCH] mke2fs: check extents feature when bigalloc feature is enabled

[Zheng Liu]

From: Zheng Liu <wenqing.lz@taobao.com>

When bigalloc feature is enabled in mkfs, extents feature also needs to be
enabled.  But now when bigalloc feature is enabled without extents feature,
users will not get any warning messages until they try to mount this file
system.
