commit 902cc179c931a033cd7f4242353aa2733bf8524c upstream.
find_group_other() and find_group_orlov() read *_lo, *_hi with ext4_free_inodes_count without additional locking. This can cause data-race warning, but since the lock is held for most writes and free inodes value is generally not a problem even if it is incorrect, it is more appropriate to use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() than to add locking.
