ext4: fix race between writepages and enabling EXT4_EXTENTS_FL

Browse Source 
If EXT4_EXTENTS_FL is set on an inode while ext4_writepages() is running
on it, the following warning in ext4_add_complete_io() can be hit:

WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 0 at fs/ext4/page-io.c:234 ext4_put_io_end_defer+0xf0/0x120

Here's a minimal reproducer (not 100% reliable) (root isn't required):

        while true; do
                sync
        done &
        while true; do
                rm -f file
                touch file
                chattr -e file
                echo X >> file
                chattr +e file
        done

The problem is that in ext4_writepages(), ext4_should_dioread_nolock()
(which only returns true on extent-based files) is checked once to set
the number of reserved journal credits, and also again later to select
the flags for ext4_map_blocks() and copy the reserved journal handle to
ext4_io_end::handle.  But if EXT4_EXTENTS_FL is being concurrently set,
the first check can see dioread_nolock disabled while the later one can
see it enabled, causing the reserved handle to unexpectedly be NULL.

Since changing EXT4_EXTENTS_FL is uncommon, and there may be other races
related to doing so as well, fix this by synchronizing changing
EXT4_EXTENTS_FL with ext4_writepages() via the existing
s_writepages_rwsem (previously called s_journal_flag_rwsem).

This was originally reported by syzbot without a reproducer at
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=2202a584a00fffd19fbf,
but now that dioread_nolock is the default I also started seeing this
when running syzkaller locally.
