ext4: reserve revoke credits in __ext4_new_inode

It's possible that __ext4_new_inode will release the xattr block, so
it will trigger a warning since there is revoke credits will be 0 if
the handle == NULL. The below scripts can reproduce it easily.

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

scripts:
mkfs.ext4 /dev/vdb
mount /dev/vdb /mnt
cd /mnt && mkdir dir && for i in {1..8}; do setfacl -dm "u:user_"$i":rx" dir; done
mkdir dir/dir1 && mv dir/dir1 ./
sh repro.sh && add some user

[root@localhost ~]# cat repro.sh
while [ 1 -eq 1 ]; do
    rm -rf dir
    rm -rf dir1/dir1
    mkdir dir
    for i in {1..8}; do  setfacl -dm "u:test"$i":rx" dir; done
    setfacl -m "u:user_9:rx" dir &
    mkdir dir1/dir1 &
done

Before exec repro.sh, dir1 has inherit the default acl from dir, and
xattr block of dir1 dir is not the same, so the h_refcount of these
two dir's xattr block will be 1. Then repro.sh can trigger the warning
with the situation show as below. The last h_refcount can be clear
with mkdir, and __ext4_new_inode has not reserved revoke credits, so
the warning will happened, fix it by reserve revoke credits in
__ext4_new_inode.

mkdir dir
set default acl(will create
a xattr block blk1 and the
refcount of ext4_xattr_header
will be 1)

				    the warning)
