ext4: unify the type of flexbg_size to unsigned int
The maximum value of flexbg_size is 2^31, but the maximum value of int is (2^31 - 1), so overflow may occur when the type of flexbg_size is declared as int. For example, when uninit_mask is initialized in ext4_alloc_group_tables(), if flexbg_size == 2^31, the initialized uninit_mask is incorrect, and this may causes set_flexbg_block_bitmap() to trigger a BUG_ON(). Therefore, the flexbg_size type is declared as unsigned int to avoid overflow and memory waste.
