ext4: avoid divide by zero when trying to mount a corrupted file system

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.
