Subject: [PATCH v2 10/11] ext4: simplify parameters of add_new_gdb()

add_new_gdb() only needs the no. of a group, there is no need to pass
a pointer to struct ext4_new_group_data to add_new_gdb().  There was a
pointer to struct buffer_head passed to add_new_gdb() to get group descriptor
buffer, actually, add_new_gdb() stores buffer pointer for new group descriptor
block in s_group_desc, thus we can get it from s_group_desc after add_new_gdb()
returns.
