Applied, with a slightly rewritten commit description:
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.
