Subject: [PATCH 1/9] ext4: ext4: unify EXT4_EX_NOCACHE|NOFAIL flags in ext4_ext_remove_space()

From: Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@...wei.com>

When removing space, we should use EXT4_EX_NOCACHE because we don't
need to cache extents, and we should also use EXT4_EX_NOFAIL to prevent
metadata inconsistencies that may arise from memory allocation failures.
While ext4_ext_remove_space() already uses these two flags in most
places, they are missing in ext4_ext_search_right() and
read_extent_tree_block() calls. Unify the flags to ensure consistent
behavior throughout the extent removal process.
