FROMLIST: f2fs: remove i_xattr_sem to avoid deadlock and fix the original issue

This reverts commit 27161f13 "f2fs: avoid race in between read xattr & write xattr".

That introduced a deadlock case:

Thread #1:

[122554.641906][   T92]  f2fs_getxattr+0xd4/0x5fc
    -> waiting for f2fs_down_read(&F2FS_I(inode)->i_xattr_sem);

Let's take a look at the original issue back.

Thread A:                                       Thread B:
-f2fs_getxattr
   -lookup_all_xattrs
      -xnid = F2FS_I(inode)->i_xattr_nid;
                                                -f2fs_setxattr
                                                    -__f2fs_setxattr
                                                        -write_all_xattrs
                                                            -truncate_xattr_node
                                                                  ...  ...
                                                -write_checkpoint
                                                                  ...  ...
                                                -alloc_nid   <- nid reuse
          -get_node_page
              -f2fs_bug_on  <- nid != node_footer->nid

I think we don't need to truncate xattr pages eagerly which introduces lots of
data races without big benefits.
