Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix a data race on EXT4_I(inode)->i_disksize

ext4_ext_truncate() might writing to the i_disksize while
ext4_fill_raw_inode() is reading the i_disksize.

The concurrent access can be reported by sanitizers
such as KCSAN but we can mask it using WRITE/READ_ONCE(). The same
fix is used in commit dce8e237100f60c ("ext4: fix a data race at
inode->i_disksize").
