Rather than skipping the bitmap check entirely when FLEX_BG is enabled,
it is probably better to just validate whether each of the bitmap/itable
offsets are within the bitmap being read, like:
offset = ...
if (offset < EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) &&
ext4_test_bit(offset, bh->b_data))
/* bad block bitmap */
goto err_out;
