ext4: Use new buffer_head flag to check uninit group bitmaps initialization

For uninit block group, the on-disk bitmap is not initialized. That
implies we cannot depend on the uptodate flag on the bitmap
buffer_head to find bitmap validity.  Use a new buffer_head flag which
would be set after we properly initialize the bitmap.  This also
prevents (re-)initializing the uninit group bitmap every time we call 
ext4_read_block_bitmap().
