reiserfs: don't preallocate blocks for extended attributes
BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1754592 commit 54930dfe upstream. Most extended attributes will fit in a single block. More importantly, we drop the reference to the inode while holding the transaction open so the preallocated blocks aren't released. As a result, the inode may be evicted before it's removed from the transaction's prealloc list which can cause memory corruption. Signed-off-by:Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com> Signed-off-by:
