ext4: add reclaim checks to xattr code

Syzbot is reporting that ext4 can enter fs reclaim from kvmalloc() while
the transaction is started like:

  fs_reclaim_acquire+0x117/0x150 mm/page_alloc.c:4340
  might_alloc include/linux/sched/mm.h:193 [inline]
  slab_pre_alloc_hook mm/slab.h:493 [inline]
  slab_alloc_node mm/slub.c:2817 [inline]
  __kmalloc_node+0x5f/0x430 mm/slub.c:4015
  kmalloc_node include/linux/slab.h:575 [inline]
  kvmalloc_node+0x61/0xf0 mm/util.c:587
  kvmalloc include/linux/mm.h:781 [inline]
  ext4_xattr_inode_cache_find fs/ext4/xattr.c:1465 [inline]
  ext4_xattr_inode_lookup_create fs/ext4/xattr.c:1508 [inline]
  ext4_xattr_set_entry+0x1ce6/0x3780 fs/ext4/xattr.c:1649
  ext4_xattr_ibody_set+0x78/0x2b0 fs/ext4/xattr.c:2224
  ext4_xattr_set_handle+0x8f4/0x13e0 fs/ext4/xattr.c:2380
  ext4_xattr_set+0x13a/0x340 fs/ext4/xattr.c:2493

This should be impossible since transaction start sets PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS.
Add some assertions to the code to catch if something isn't working as
expected early.
