Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix NULL pointer dereference in ext4_validate_block_bitmap()

If EXT4FS_DEBUG is defined, ext4_count_clusters() performs some additional
checks on the block bitmaps at mount time, ext4_validate_block_bitmap()
is called but the superblock doesn't contain a valid s_group_info
pointer yet.

This patch fixes the bug by modifying ext4_validate_block_bitmap() so
it verifies whether the s_group_info pointer is valid or not before
using it.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at           (null)
