f2fs: don't GC or take an fs_lock from f2fs_initxattrs()

f2fs_initxattrs() is called internally from within F2FS and should
not call functions that are used by VFS handlers.  This avoids
certain deadlocks:

- vfs_create()
 - f2fs_create() <-- takes an fs_lock
  - f2fs_add_link()
   - __f2fs_add_link()
    - init_inode_metadata()
     - f2fs_init_security()
      - security_inode_init_security()
       - f2fs_initxattrs()
        - f2fs_setxattr() <-- also takes an fs_lock

If the caller happens to grab the same fs_lock from the pool in both
places, they will deadlock.  There are also deadlocks involving
multiple threads and mutexes:

- f2fs_write_begin()
 - f2fs_balance_fs() <-- takes gc_mutex
  - f2fs_gc()
   - write_checkpoint()
    - block_operations()
     - mutex_lock_all() <-- blocks trying to grab all fs_locks

- f2fs_mkdir() <-- takes an fs_lock
 - __f2fs_add_link()
  - f2fs_init_security()
   - security_inode_init_security()
    - f2fs_initxattrs()
     - f2fs_setxattr()
      - f2fs_balance_fs() <-- blocks trying to take gc_mutex
