ext4: fixed potential NULL dereference in ext4_calculate_overhead()
The memset operation before check can cause a BUG if the memory allocation failed. Since we are using get_zeroed_age, there is no need to use memset anyway. Found by the Spruce system in cooperation with the KEDR Framework. Signed-off-by: Vahram Martirosyan <vmartirosyan@linuxtesting.org> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
