ext4: reduce unnecessary memory allocation in alloc_flex_gd()

When a large flex_bg file system is resized, the number of groups to be
added may be small, and a large amount of memory that will not be used will
be allocated. Therefore, resize_bg can be set to the size after the number
of new_group_data to be used is aligned upwards to the power of 2. This
does not affect the disk layout after online resize and saves some memory.
