ocfs2: Resolve deadlock in ocfs2_xattr_free_block.

In ocfs2_xattr_free_block, we take a cluster lock on xb_alloc_inode while we
have a transaction open. This will deadlock the downconvert thread, so fix
it.

We can clean up how xattr blocks are removed while here - this patch also
moves the mechanism of releasing xattr block (including both value, xattr
tree and xattr block) into this function.
