ext4: atomically set inode->i_flags in ext4_set_inode_flags()

ext4: atomically set inode->i_flags in ext4_set_inode_flags()

commit 5f16f3225b06242a9ee876f07c1c9b6ed36a22b6 upstream.

Use cmpxchg() to atomically set i_flags instead of clearing out the
S_IMMUTABLE, S_APPEND, etc. flags and then setting them from the
EXT4_IMMUTABLE_FL, EXT4_APPEND_FL flags, since this opens up a race
where an immutable file has the immutable flag cleared for a brief
window of time.

js: there is no change for ext4. This patch defines merely
    inode_set_flags for jffs in the next patch. I wonder why do we
    have both inode_set_flags and set_mask_bits? Looks like an
    improperly resolved merge conflict.
