ext4: reinforce check of i_dtime when clearing high fields of uid and gid
commit 93e3b4e6631d2a74a8cf7429138096862ff9f452 upstream. Now, ext4_do_update_inode() clears high 16-bit fields of uid/gid of deleted and evicted inode to fix up interoperability with old kernels. However, it checks only i_dtime of an inode to determine whether the inode was deleted and evicted, and this is very risky, because i_dtime can be used for the pointer maintaining orphan inode list, too. We need to further check whether the i_dtime is being used for the orphan inode list even if the i_dtime is not NULL. We found that high 16-bit fields of uid/gid of inode are unintentionally and permanently cleared when the inode truncation is just triggered, but not finished, and the inode metadata, whose high uid/gid bits are cleared, is written on disk, and the sudden power-off follows that in order.
