There seems to be no such function, which would be equivalent to ext3_bg_num_gdb in
fs/ext3/balloc.c in the kernel source.

Why would you find such a function useful in a user application?  What
are you trying to do?

I was trying to get the same block size that what statfs() gives, i.e.
the effective block size (full block count - overhead). That could even
be something nice to have in dumpe2fs or debugfs.
