There isn't one today. Normally I'll just look it up using the output
of dumpe2fs.
What's the use case where you need to get that information? We could
add that as a new feature into debugfs, but it might be helpful to
understand the circumstances where you're needing that feature to
understand how best to add it into debugfs (or maybe some other
e2fsprogs command, such as e2fsck --- although in many cases e2fsck
has some of this already).
