This patch is not correct; the test for uninit and the calculation for
old_desc_blk needs to be for the next group, not the previous block.
I believe this patch is the correct one instead.

    resize2fs: Fix fix uninit group test accessing invalid memory
    
    Commit 74128f8 added tests for uninit groups, but it could access past
    the end of the group_desc[] array after processing the last group:
    
    ==19668== Invalid read of size 2
    ==19668==    at 0x40518C: resize_fs (resize2fs.c:1824)
    ==19668==    by 0x405A46: main (main.c:451)
    ==19668==  Address 0x5a0d002 is not stack'd, malloc'd or (recently) free'd
    ==19668==
    ==19668== Invalid read of size 2
    ==19668==    at 0x405391: resize_fs (resize2fs.c:1864)
    ==19668==    by 0x405A46: main (main.c:451)
    ==19668==  Address 0x5a0d002 is not stack'd, malloc'd or (recently) free'd
    ==19668==
    
    It was found by Eric Sandeen running the regression suite through
    valgrind.
