#1608805 — [PATCH 4.9 24/24] ext4: fix fencepost in s_first_meta_bg validation

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

commit 2ba3e6e8afc9b6188b471f27cf2b5e3cf34e7af2 upstream.

It is OK for s_first_meta_bg to be equal to the number of block group
descriptor blocks.  (It rarely happens, but it shouldn't cause any
problems.)
