ext4: fix jbd2 warning under heavy xattr load
ext4: fix jbd2 warning under heavy xattr load

When heavily exercising xattr code the assertion that
jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() shouldn't return error was triggered:

The reason for the warning is that buffer_head passed into
jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() didn't have journal_head attached. This is
caused by the following race of two ext4_xattr_release_block() calls:

CPU1                                CPU2
ext4_xattr_release_block()          ext4_xattr_release_block()
lock_buffer(bh);
/* False */
if (BHDR(bh)->h_refcount == cpu_to_le32(1))
} else {
  le32_add_cpu(&BHDR(bh)->h_refcount, -1);
  unlock_buffer(bh);
                                    lock_buffer(bh);
                                    /* True */
                                    if (BHDR(bh)->h_refcount == cpu_to_le32(1))
                                      get_bh(bh);
                                      ext4_free_blocks()
                                        ...
                                        jbd2_journal_forget()
                                          jbd2_journal_unfile_buffer()
                                          -> JH is gone
  error = ext4_handle_dirty_xattr_block(handle, inode, bh);
  -> triggers the warning

We fix the problem by moving ext4_handle_dirty_xattr_block() under the
buffer lock. Sadly this cannot be done in nojournal mode as that
function can call sync_dirty_buffer() which would deadlock. Luckily in
nojournal mode the race is harmless (we only dirty already freed buffer)
and thus for nojournal mode we leave the dirtying outside of the buffer
lock.
