ext2: fix race between setxattr and write back

Browse Source 
There's an issue when allocating xattrs as follows:
Block Allocation Reservation Windows Map (ext2_try_to_allocate_with_rsv):
reservation window 0x000000006f105382 start: 0, end: 0
reservation window 0x000000008fd1a555 start: 1044, end: 1059
Window map complete.

Now ext2 mkwrite doesn't allocate new blocks so for these cases we may
be allocating blocks during writeback. However, there is no protection
between ext2_xattr_set() and do_writepages() so these two functions can
conflict on handling the reservation window.  To solve about issue don't
use the reservation window when allocating block for xattr.
