[PATCH 3.12 06/84] ext4: move check under lock scope to close a race.

[Jiri Slaby]

From: Davide Italiano <dccitaliano@xxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 280227a75b56ab5d35854f3a77ef74a7ad56a203 upstream

fallocate() checks that the file is extent-based and returns
EOPNOTSUPP in case is not. Other tasks can convert from and to
indirect and extent so it's safe to check only after grabbing
the inode mutex.

[Nikolay Borisov: Bakported to 3.12.47
 - Adjusted context
 - Add the 'out' label]
