ext4: fix potential race between s_flex_groups online resizing and access
During an online resize an array of s_flex_groups structures gets replaced so it can get enlarged. If there is a concurrent access to the array and this memory has been reused then this can lead to an invalid memory access. The s_flex_group array has been converted into an array of pointers rather than an array of structures. This is to ensure that the information contained in the structures cannot get out of sync during a resize due to an accessor updating the value in the old structure after it has been copied but before the array pointer is updated. Since the structures them- selves are no longer copied but only the pointers to them this case is mitigated.
