Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Fix accessing uninit percpu counter variable with fast_commit

When running generic/527 with fast_commit configuration, below issue is
seen on Power.
With fast_commit, during ext4_fc_replay() (which can be called from
ext4_fill_super()), if inode eviction happens then it can access an
uninitialized percpu counter variable.

This patch adds the check b4 accessing the counters in ext4_free_inode() path.
