ext4: potential crash on allocation error in ext4_alloc_flex_bg_array()
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.
