The code here is effectively doing the
parent_group = prandom_u32_max(ngroups);

Similarly here we can use prandom_u32_max(ngroups) like:
if (qstr) {
...
parent_group = hinfo.hash % ngroups;
} else
parent_group = prandom_u32_max(ngroups);

OK, here we again effectively implement prandom_u32_max(EXT4_MMP_SEQ_MAX + 1).
Just presumably we didn't want to use modulo here because EXT4_MMP_SEQ_MAX
is rather big and so the resulting 'new_seq' would be seriously
non-uniform.
