ext4: sanity check for NULL pointer after ext4_force_shutdown
Test case: 2 threads write short inline data to a file. In ext4_page_mkwrite the resulting inline data is converted. Handling ext4_grp_locked_error with description "block bitmap and bg descriptor inconsistent: X vs Y free clusters" calls ext4_force_shutdown. The conversion clears EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA but fails for ext4_destroy_inline_data_nolock and ext4_mark_iloc_dirty due to ext4_forced_shutdown. The restoration of inline data fails for the same reason not setting EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA. Without the flag set a regular process path in ext4_da_write_end follows trying to dereference page folio private pointer that has not been set. The fix calls early return with -EIO error shall the pointer to private be NULL.
