Fix an issue arising when ext4 features has_journal, ea_inode, and encrypt
are activated simultaneously, leading to ENOSPC when creating an encrypted
file.
Fix by passing XATTR_CREATE flag to xattr_set_handle function if a handle
is specified, i.e., when the function is called in the control flow of
creating a new inode. This aligns the number of jbd2 credits set_handle
checks for with the number allocated for creating a new inode.
ext4_set_context must not be called with a non-null handle (fs_data) if
fscrypt context xattr is not guaranteed to not exist yet. The only other
usage of this function currently is when handling the ioctl
FS_IOC_SET_ENCRYPTION_POLICY, which calls it with fs_data=NULL.
