You may as well move the second s_flex_groups == NULL check inside the first one:

	if (sbi->s_flex_groups == NULL) {
		sbi->s_flex_groups = vzalloc(size);
		if (sbi->s_flex_groups == NULL) {
			ext4_msg(sb, KERN_ERR, "not enough memory for "
				 "%u flex groups", flex_group_count);
			goto failed;
		}
	}

Cheers, Andreas
