EXT4_I(inode)->i_disksize could be accessed concurrently as noticed by

 Reported by Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer on:
 CPU: 37 PID: 24872 Comm: kworker/u261:2 Tainted: G        W  O L 5.5.0-next-20200204+ #5

 Workqueue: writeback wb_workfn (flush-7:0)

Since only the read is operating as lockless (outside of the
"i_data_sem"), load tearing could introduce a logic bug. Fix it by
adding READ_ONCE() for the read and WRITE_ONCE() for the write.
