libext2fs: during inlinedata expand, don't corrupt inode
When expanding an inline data inode, it's possible that the reduction
in the size of the EA structures causes the freeing of the EA block,
which changes the inode. If this happens, the local version of the
inode that ext2fs_inline_data_expand was modifying will be out of sync
with what's on the disk. This local copy gets written out to disk
after a block allocation, at which point it's possible that the inode
EA block and logical block zero point to the same physical block,
which is bad news.
Therefore, write the local copy to disk before removing the inline
data EA, and reread it afterwards.
