[ Upstream commit 5a57bca9050d740ca37184302e23d0e7633e3ebc ]
Since commit 6493792d3299 ("ext4: convert symlink external data block
mapping to bdev"), create new symlink with inline_data is not supported,
but it missing to handle the leftover inlined symlinks, which could
cause below error message and fail to read symlink.
ls: cannot read symbolic link 'foo': Structure needs cleaning
EXT4-fs error (device sda): ext4_map_blocks:605: inode #12: block
2021161080: comm ls: lblock 0 mapped to illegal pblock 2021161080
(length 1)
Fix this regression by adding ext4_read_inline_link(), which read the
inline data directly and convert it through a kmalloced buffer.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
