ext4: fix a potential deadlock in __ext4_es_shrink()
This fixes the following lockdep complaint:
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
3.16.0-rc2-mm1+ #7 Tainted: G O
-------------------------------------------------------
kworker/u24:0/4356 is trying to acquire lock:
(&(&sbi->s_es_lru_lock)->rlock){+.+.-.}, at: [<ffffffff81285fff>] __ext4_es_shrink+0x4f/0x2e0
but task is already holding lock:
(&ei->i_es_lock){++++-.}, at: [<ffffffff81286961>] ext4_es_insert_extent+0x71/0x180
which lock already depends on the new lock.
Possible unsafe locking scenario:

lock(&ei->i_es_lock);
lock(&(&sbi->s_es_lru_lock)->rlock);
lock(&ei->i_es_lock);
lock(&(&sbi->s_es_lru_lock)->rlock);
