commit f87c7a4b084afc13190cbb263538e444cb2b392a upstream.

Hulk Robot reported a BUG_ON:

BUG_ON(ref_cnt == 0) ---> BUG_ON

The lock held by ext4_convert_inline_data is xattr_sem, but the lock
held by generic_perform_write is i_rwsem. Therefore, the two locks can
be concurrent.

To solve above issue, we add inode_lock() for ext4_convert_inline_data().
At the same time, move ext4_convert_inline_data() in front of
ext4_punch_hole(), remove similar handling from ext4_punch_hole().
