ext4: fix race writing to an inline_data file while its xattrs are changing



mainline inclusion
from mainline-5.14
commit 9e445093e523f3277081314c864f708fd4bd34aa
category: bugfix
bugzilla: 180850
CVE: CVE-2021-40490

-------------------------------------------------

The location of the system.data extended attribute can change whenever
xattr_sem is not taken.  So we need to recalculate the i_inline_off
field since it mgiht have changed between ext4_write_begin() and
ext4_write_end().

This means that caching i_inline_off is probably not helpful, so in
the long run we should probably get rid of it and shrink the in-memory
ext4 inode slightly, but let's fix the race the simple way for now.
