commit a54c4613dac1500b40e4ab55199f7c51f028e848 upstream.
The location of the system.data extended attribute can change whenever xattr_sem is not taken. So we need to recalculate the i_inline_off field since it mgiht have changed between ext4_write_begin() and ext4_write_end().
This means that caching i_inline_off is probably not helpful, so in the long run we should probably get rid of it and shrink the in-memory ext4 inode slightly, but let's fix the race the simple way for now.
