ext4: fix deadlock when converting an inline directory in nojournal mode



In no journal mode, ext4_finish_convert_inline_dir() can self-deadlock
by calling ext4_handle_dirty_dirblock() when it already has taken the
directory lock.  There is a similar self-deadlock in
ext4_incvert_inline_data_nolock() for data files which we'll fix at
the same time.

A simple reproducer demonstrating the problem:

    mke2fs -Fq -t ext2 -O inline_data -b 4k /dev/vdc 64
    mount -t ext4 -o dirsync /dev/vdc /vdc
    cd /vdc
    mkdir file0
    cd file0
    touch file0
    touch file1
    attr -s BurnSpaceInEA -V abcde .
    touch supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
