Fix kernel BUG at fs/ext4/mballoc.c:910!

From: Valerie Clement <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

With the flex_bg feature enabled, a large file creation oopses the
kernel.
The BUG_ON is:
        BUG_ON(len >= EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb));

As the allocation of the bitmaps and the inode table can be done
outside the block group with flex_bg, this allows to allocate up to
EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP blocks in a group.
Depending on the group size and the block size, extents might be 
larger than BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(); use EXT_INIT_MAX_LEN instead of 
BLOCKS_PER_GROUP().

This patch fixes the oops.
