[PATCH 5.10 106/137] ext4: fix accessing uninit percpu counter variable with fast_commit

commit b45f189a19b38e01676628db79cd3eeb1333516e upstream.

When running generic/527 with fast_commit configuration, the following
issue is seen on Power. With fast_commit, during ext4_fc_replay()
(which can be called from ext4_fill_super()), if inode eviction
happens then it can access an uninitialized percpu counter variable.

This patch adds the check before accessing the counters in
ext4_free_inode() path.
