ext4: Fix memory leak fix when mounting an ext4 filesystem
The allocation of the ext4_group_info array was moved to a new
function ext4_mb_add_group_info() in commit 5f21b0e6 so that online
resize would use a common (and correct) codepath. Unfortunately, the
call to the new ext4_mb_add_group_info() function was added without
removing the code which originally allocated the array. This caused a
memory leak each time an ext4 filesystem was mounted.
The fix is simple; remove the code that did the original allocation,
since it is no longer needed.
