Darrick J. Wong d7c64cdc96 libext2fs: no need to clear BLOCK_UNINIT during ext2fs_reserve_super_and_bgd
Since the beginning of the uninit_bg feature, the kernel[1] and
e2fsck[2] have always been careful to detect the presence of the
BLOCK_UNINIT flag, and compute a block bitmap with any group metadata
blocks marked in that bitmap.  With that in mind, I think it's safe to
say that this is a design feature of uninit_bg.

Now that we've trained libext2fs to have this same behavior whenever
it's loading a block bitmap, we no longer need to unset BLOCK_UNINIT
for a group that contains only its own group metadata -- kernel,
e2fsck, and e2fsprogs will handle this correctly.
