Subject: [PATCH] ext4: never move the system.data xattr out of the inode body

When expanding the extra isize space, we must never move the
system.data xattr out of the inode body.  For performance reasons, it
doesn't make any sense, and the inline data implementation assumes
that system.data xattr is never in the external xattr block.

This addresses CVE-2018-10880
