ext4: disallow ea_inodes with extended attributes

commit 2bc7e7c1a3bc9bd0cbf0f71006f6fe7ef24a00c2 upstream.

An ea_inode stores the value of an extended attribute; it can not have
extended attributes itself, or this will cause recursive nightmares.
Add a check in ext4_iget() to make sure this is the case.
