ext4: lock block groups when initializing

I noticed when filling a 1T filesystem with 4 threads using the
fs_mark benchmark:

fs_mark -d /mnt/test -D 256 -n 100000 -t 4 -s 20480 -F -S 0

that I occasionally got checksum mismatch errors:

EXT4-fs error (device sdb): ext4_init_inode_bitmap: Checksum bad for group 6935

etc.  I'd reliably get 4-5 of them during the run.

It appears that the problem is likely a race to init the bg's
when the uninit_bg feature is enabled.

With the patch below, which adds sb_bgl_locking around initialization,
I was able to complete several runs with no errors or warnings.
