add_new_gdb() only needs the no. of a group, there is no need to pass
a pointer to struct ext4_new_group_data to add_new_gdb().

This patch is changing the code in a subtle, but not incorrect way.
At a minimum, the commit comment should also mention why "primary"
can be removed as an argument.  That is because add_new_gdb() is
storing the bh pointer for the new group descriptor block into
s_group_desc[] internally:

Here...

and the caller can safely access this after the function returns.  It
would be incorrect to "optimize" this code to consolidate the setting
of "primary" from sbi->s_group_desc[gdb_num] before the if/else clause,
so this should get a comment that this array element is only valid after
add_new_gdb() returns.

Cheers, Andreas
