Subject: reiserfs: don't preallocate blocks for extended attributes
References: bsc#990682
Patch-mainline: v4.13-rc1
Git-commit: 54930dfeb46e978b447af0fb8ab4e181c1bf9d7a

Most extended attributes will fit in a single block.  More importantly,
we drop the reference to the inode while holding the transaction open
so the preallocated blocks aren't released.  As a result, the inode
may be evicted before it's removed from the transaction's prealloc list
which can cause memory corruption.
