For very large filesystems, the s_flex_groups array can get quite big.
For example, a filesystem that can be resized up to 16TB will have
8192 flex groups (assuming the default flex_bg size of 16), so the
array is 96k, which is *very* marginal for kmalloc().  On the other
hand, a 160GB filesystem without the resize_inode feature will only
require 960 bytes.  So we try to allocate the array first using
kmalloc(), and if that fails, we'll try to use vmalloc() instead.
