Subject: [PATCH 4.14 131/146] ext2: fix potential use after free

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Pan Bian <bianpan2016@....com>

commit ecebf55d27a11538ea84aee0be643dd953f830d5 upstream.

The function ext2_xattr_set calls brelse(bh) to drop the reference count
of bh. After that, bh may be freed. However, following brelse(bh),
it reads bh->b_data via macro HDR(bh). This may result in a
use-after-free bug. This patch moves brelse(bh) after reading field.
