    resize2fs: fix crash when there is an ea block and no blocks to migrate

    This fixes a bug introduced in 1.43 by commit fb47b94fffc: "resize2fs:
    rewrite extent/dir/ea block checksums when migrating". If there is an
    extended attribute block and there are no blocks that need to migrate,
    we will crash.

    The bug was caused by a botched De Morgan's transformation.

Note that e2fsprogs 1.43.3-1 is in Debian unstable, and the only reason why it's blocked from entering testing for the last three weeks is because of the glibc 2.24 transition.
