ext4: fix data races when using cached status extents



When using cached extent stored in extent status tree in tree->cache_es
another process holding ei->i_es_lock for reading can be racing with us
setting new value of tree->cache_es. If the compiler would decide to
refetch tree->cache_es at an unfortunate moment, it could result in a
bogus in_range() check. Fix the possible race by using READ_ONCE() when
using tree->cache_es only under ei->i_es_lock for reading.
