commit 6b22489911b726eebbf169caee52fea52013fbdd upstream.

Syzbot report a warning that ext4 may create an empty ea_inode if set
an empty extent attribute to a file on the file system which is no free
blocks left.

  WARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 10667 at fs/ext4/xattr.c:1640 ext4_xattr_set_entry+0x10f8/0x1114 fs/ext4/xattr.c:1640
  ...

  ...

Now, ext4 try to store extent attribute into an external inode if
ext4_xattr_block_set() return -ENOSPC, but for the case of store an
empty extent attribute, store the extent entry into the extent
attribute block is enough. A simple reproduce below.

  fallocate test.img -l 1M
  mkfs.ext4 -F -b 2048 -O ea_inode test.img
  mount test.img /mnt
  dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/foo bs=2048 count=500
  setfattr -n "user.test" /mnt/foo
