ext4: fix potential race between online resizing and write operations
During an online resize an array of pointers to buffer heads gets replaced so it can get enlarged. If there is a racing block allocation or deallocation which uses the old array, and the old array has gotten reused this can lead to a GPF or some other random kernel memory getting modified.
