In ext4_get_inode_loc(), we may skip IO and get an zero && uptodate
inode buffer when the inode monopolize an inode block for performance
reason. For most cases, ext4_mark_iloc_dirty() will fill the inode
buffer to make it fine, but we could miss this call if something bad
happened. Finally, __ext4_get_inode_loc_noinmem() may probably get an
empty inode buffer and trigger ext4 error.
For example, if we remove a nonexistent xattr on inode A,
ext4_xattr_set_handle() will return ENODATA before invoking
ext4_mark_iloc_dirty(), it will left an uptodate but zero buffer. We
will get checksum error message in ext4_iget() when getting inode again.
EXT4-fs error (device sda): ext4_lookup:1784: inode #131074: comm cat: iget: checksum invalid
Even worse, if we allocate another inode B at the same inode block, it
will corrupt the inode A on disk when write back inode B.
So this patch initialize the inode buffer by filling the in-mem inode
contents if we skip read I/O, ensure that the buffer is really uptodate.
