[JFFS2][XATTR] Fix xd->refcnt race condition
When xd->refcnt is checked whether this xdatum should be released or not, atomic_dec_and_lock() is used to ensure holding the c->erase_completion_lock. This fix change a specification of delete_xattr_datum(). Previously, it's only called when xd->refcnt equals zero. (calling it with positive xd->refcnt cause a BUG()) If you applied this patch, the function checks whether xd->refcnt is zero or not under the spinlock if necessary. Then, it marks xd DEAD flahs and links with xattr_dead_list or releases it immediately when xd->refcnt become zero.
