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.
