ext4: fix deadlock when converting an inline directory in nojournal mode

commit f4ce24f upstream. In no journal mode, ext4_finish_convert_inline_dir() can self-deadlock by calling ext4_handle_dirty_dirblock() when it already has taken the directory lock. There is a similar self-deadlock in ext4_incvert_inline_data_nolock() for data files which we'll fix at the same time. A simple reproducer demonstrating the problem: mke2fs -Fq -t ext2 -O inline_data -b 4k /dev/vdc 64 mount -t ext4 -o dirsync /dev/vdc /vdc cd /vdc mkdir file0 cd file0 touch file0 touch file1 attr -s BurnSpaceInEA -V abcde . touch supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Cc: stable@kernel.org Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230507021608.1290720-1-tytso@mit.edu Reported-by: syzbot+91dccab7c64e2850a4e5@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Link: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=ba84cc80a9491d65416bc7877e1650c87530fe8a Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
