Above issue happens as follows:
ext4_iget
   ext4_find_inline_data_nolock ->i_inline_off=164 i_inline_size=60
ext4_try_add_inline_entry
   __ext4_mark_inode_dirty
      ext4_expand_extra_isize_ea ->i_extra_isize=32 s_want_extra_isize=44
         ext4_xattr_shift_entries
	 ->after shift i_inline_off is incorrect, actually is change to 176
ext4_try_add_inline_entry
  ext4_update_inline_dir
    get_max_inline_xattr_value_size
      if (EXT4_I(inode)->i_inline_off)
	entry = (struct ext4_xattr_entry *)((void *)raw_inode +
			EXT4_I(inode)->i_inline_off);
        free += EXT4_XATTR_SIZE(le32_to_cpu(entry->e_value_size));
	->As entry is incorrect, then 'free' may be negative
   ext4_update_inline_data
      value = kzalloc(len, GFP_NOFS);
      -> len is unsigned int, maybe very large, then trigger warning when
         'kzalloc()'

To resolve the above issue we need to update 'i_inline_off' after
'ext4_xattr_shift_entries()'.  We do not need to set
EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA flag here, since ext4_mark_inode_dirty()
already sets this flag if needed.  Setting EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA
when it is needed may trigger a BUG_ON in ext4_writepages().
