Subject: ubifs: Massage assert in ubifs_xattr_set() wrt. init_xattrs

From: Xiaolei Li <xiaolei.li@mediatek.com>

commit d8db5b1ca9d4c57e49893d0f78e6d5ce81450cc8 upstream.

The inode is not locked in init_xattrs when creating a new inode.

Without this patch, there will occurs assert when booting or creating
a new file, if the kernel config CONFIG_SECURITY_SMACK is enabled.
