[PATCH 5.10 68/89] ext4: drop the call to ext4_error() from ext4_get_group_info()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

From: Fabio M. De Francesco <fmdefrancesco@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit f451fd97dd2b78f286379203a47d9d295c467255 ]

A recent patch added a call to ext4_error() which is problematic since
some callers of the ext4_get_group_info() function may be holding a
spinlock, whereas ext4_error() must never be called in atomic context.

This triggered a report from Syzbot: "BUG: sleeping function called from
invalid context in ext4_update_super" (see the link below).

Therefore, drop the call to ext4_error() from ext4_get_group_info(). In
the meantime use eight characters tabs instead of nine characters ones.

Fixes: 5354b2af3406 ("ext4: allow ext4_get_group_info() to fail")
