ext4: fix deadlock with fs freezing and EA inodes

Xattr code using inodes with large xattr data can end up dropping last
inode reference (and thus deleting the inode) from places like
ext4_xattr_set_entry(). That function is called with transaction started
and so ext4_evict_inode() can deadlock against fs freezing like:

CPU1					CPU2

removexattr()				freeze_super()
  vfs_removexattr()
    ext4_xattr_set()
      handle = ext4_journal_start()
      ...
      ext4_xattr_set_entry()
        iput(old_ea_inode)
          ext4_evict_inode(old_ea_inode)
					  sb->s_writers.frozen = SB_FREEZE_FS;
					  sb_wait_write(sb, SB_FREEZE_FS);
					  ext4_freeze()
					    jbd2_journal_lock_updates()
					      -> blocks waiting for all
					         handles to stop
            sb_start_intwrite()
	      -> blocks as sb is already in SB_FREEZE_FS state

Generally it is advisable to delete inodes from a separate transaction
as it can consume quite some credits however in this case it would be
quite clumsy and furthermore the credits for inode deletion are quite
limited and already accounted for. So just tweak ext4_evict_inode() to
avoid freeze protection if we have transaction already started and thus
it is not really needed anyway.
