ext4: inplace xattr block update fails to deduplicate blocks

When an xattr block has a single reference, block is updated inplace
and it is reinserted to the cache. Later, a cache lookup is performed
to see whether an existing block has the same contents. This cache
lookup will most of the time return the just inserted entry so
deduplication is not achieved.

Running the following test script will produce two xattr blocks which
can be observed in "File ACL: " line of debugfs output:

  mke2fs -b 1024 -I 128 -F -O extent /dev/sdb 1G
  mount /dev/sdb /mnt/sdb

  touch /mnt/sdb/{x,y}

  setfattr -n user.1 -v aaa /mnt/sdb/x
  setfattr -n user.2 -v bbb /mnt/sdb/x

  setfattr -n user.1 -v aaa /mnt/sdb/y
  setfattr -n user.2 -v bbb /mnt/sdb/y

  debugfs -R 'stat x' /dev/sdb | cat
  debugfs -R 'stat y' /dev/sdb | cat

This patch defers the reinsertion to the cache so that we can locate
other blocks with the same contents.
