I believe that this has been fixed with upstream commit

commit 7c268d4ce2d3761f666a9950b029c8902bfab710

    ext4: fix potential NULL pointer dereference in ext4_fill_super()

    By mistake we fail to return an error from ext4_fill_super() in case
    that ext4_alloc_sbi() fails to allocate a new sbi. Instead we just set
    the ret variable and allow the function to continue which will later
    lead to a NULL pointer dereference. Fix it by returning -ENOMEM in the
    case ext4_alloc_sbi() fails.

    Fixes: cebe85d570cf ("ext4: switch to the new mount api")
