commit 37b0b6b8b99c0e1c1f11abbe7cf49b6d03795b3f upstream.

If sbi->s_flex_groups_allocated is zero and the first allocation fails
then this code will crash.  The problem is that "i--" will set "i" to
-1 but when we compare "i >= sbi->s_flex_groups_allocated" then the -1
is type promoted to unsigned and becomes UINT_MAX.  Since UINT_MAX
is more than zero, the condition is true so we call kvfree(new_groups[-1]).
The loop will carry on freeing invalid memory until it crashes.

Fixes: 7c990728b99e ("ext4: fix potential race between s_flex_groups online resizing and access")
