If selinux is not being used, it's... strange that we could have ended up in
this path, since it requires inode->i_security being set and the LSM code
deciding that selinux was enabled (and so it called
selinux_inode_free_security).

In any case, this is very clearly not an ext4 bug, so I'm going to pass this
off to the linux-security-module list for them to investigate.  Without a
reliable reproducer, though, there may not be much that any of us can do...
