From: sunjunchao <sunjunchao@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

There is a BUG_ON statement which will be triggered in the
following scenario, let's remove it.

thread0                                         thread1
ext4_write_begin(inode0)
    ->ext4_try_to_write_inline_data()
        written some bits successfully
ext4_write_end(inode0)
    ->ext4_write_inline_data_end()
                                            ext4_write_begin(inode0)
                                                ->ext4_try_to_write_inline_data()
                                                    ->ext4_convert_inline_data_to_extent()
                                                        ->ext4_write_lock_xattr()
                                                            ->ext4_destroy_inline_data_nolock()
                                                                ->ext4_clear_inode_state(inode, EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA);
                                                        ->ext4_write_unlock_xattr()
        ->ext4_write_lock_xattr()
        ->BUG_ON(!ext4_has_inline_data()) will be triggered

The problematic logic is that ext4_write_end() test ext4_has_inline_data()
without holding xattr_sem, and ext4_write_inline_data_end() test it again using
a BUG_ON() with holding xattr_sem.
