ext4: fix potential NULL dereference in ext4_free_inodes_counts()
commit bb3d132a24cd8bf5e7773b2d9f9baa58b07a7dae upstream.
The ext4_get_group_desc() function returns NULL on error, and
ext4_free_inodes_count() function dereferences it without checking.
There is a check on the next line, but it's too late.
