    ==================================================================

    The problem is that the inode contains an xattr entry with ea_inum of 15
    when cleaning up an orphan inode <15>. When evict inode <15>, the reference
    counting of the corresponding EA inode is decreased. When EA inode <15> is
    found by find_inode_fast() in __ext4_iget(), it is found that the EA inode
    holds the I_FREEING flag and waits for the EA inode to complete deletion.
    As a result, when inode <15> is being deleted, we wait for inode <15> to
    complete the deletion, resulting in an infinite loop and triggering Hung
    Task. To solve this problem, we only need to check whether the ino of EA
    inode and parent is the same before getting EA inode.
