ext4: drop the call to ext4_error() from ext4_get_group_info()
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")
