Subject: [PATCH] ext4: avoid oversized shift in ext4_fill_flex_info()

Commit 503358ae fixed a division by zero, but groups_per_flex still
overflows due to an oversized shift, given a large s_log_groups_per_flex
like 36.  (1 << 36) is undefined in C; the result may vary depending
on the architecture, e.g., 16 on x86, thus bypassing the sanity check
(groups_per_flex < 2).
