[58/90] ext4: avoid divide by zero when trying to mount a corrupted file system

[Greg KH]

2.6.31-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
(cherry picked from commit 503358ae01b70ce6909d19dd01287093f6b6271c)

If s_log_groups_per_flex is greater than 31, then groups_per_flex will
will overflow and cause a divide by zero error.  This can cause kernel
BUG if such a file system is mounted.

Thanks to Nageswara R Sastry for analyzing the failure and providing
an initial patch.
