[PATCH] ext3: fix ext34_fill_super group description initialization

From: Dmitry Monakhov
Date: Mon Aug 13 2007 - 09:20:30 EST


->s_group_desc have to be zero filled because if sb_read() failed
we jump to following error path.
failed_mount2:
for (i = 0; i < db_count; i++)
brelse(sbi->s_group_desc[i]);<< Bad things may happen here
