ext4: fix corrupt backup group descriptors after online resize
In commit 9a8c5b0d ("ext4: update the backup superblock's at the end of the online resize"), it is assumed that update_backups() only updates backup superblocks, so each b_data is treated as a backupsuper block to update its s_block_group_nr and s_checksum. However, update_backups() also updates the backup group descriptors, which causes the backup group descriptors to be corrupted. The above commit fixes the problem of invalid checksum of the backup superblock. The root cause of this problem is that the checksum of ext4_update_super() is not set correctly. This problem has been fixed in the previous patch ("ext4: fix bad checksum after online resize"). However, we do need to set block_group_nr for the backup superblock in update_backups(). When a block is in a group that contains a backup superblock, and the block is the first block in the group, the block is definitely a superblock. We add a helper function that includes setting s_block_group_nr and updating checksum, and then call it only when the above conditions are met to prevent the backup group descriptors from being incorrectly modified.
