resize2fs -M is problematic as another reply mentions.

virt-sparsify is designed to handle this case properly.  It currently
works by copying the disk image, but it should soon work in-place too
(waiting on some qemu command line changes).

And incidentally, virt-resize can handle the offline growing case well
too.
