ext4: attach jinode after creation of xattr inode

In data=ordered mode jinode needs to be attached to the xattr inode when
writing data to it. Attachment normally occurs during file open for regular
files. Since we are not using file interface to write to the xattr inode,
the jinode attach needs to be done manually.

Otherwise the following crash occurs in data=ordered mode.
