ext4: don't kfree uninitialized s_group_info members
We can call kfree on uninitialized members of the s_group_info array
on an the error path. We can avoid this by kzalloc'ing the array.
This doesn't entirely solve the oops on mount if we fail down this
path; failed_mount4: frees the sbi, for one, which gets referenced
later in the failed mount paths - I haven't worked that out yet.
