Subject: [syzbot] [ocfs2?] possible deadlock in ocfs2_duplicate_inline_data

AI-generated root cause summary:
In fs/ocfs2/xattr.c, OCFS2_IP_ALLOC_SEM_UNPUBLISHED was defined as 1 to allow
down_write_nested(&OCFS2_I(inode)->ip_alloc_sem, ...) within an active
transaction during inode creation without tripping lockdep against the standard
ip_alloc_sem -> transaction lock order. However, subclass 1
(SINGLE_DEPTH_NESTING) was already in use by ocfs2_remap_file_range() in
fs/ocfs2/file.c when locking the destination inode's ip_alloc_sem. When
ocfs2_remap_file_range() locks the destination inode under subclass 1 and
invokes ocfs2_reflink_remap_blocks() -> ocfs2_duplicate_inline_data(),
ocfs2_start_trans() is called, acquiring sb_internal and j_trans_barrier;
lockdep sees both transaction -> ip_alloc_sem/1 and ip_alloc_sem/1 ->
transaction, reporting a circular locking dependency false positive due to the
subclass collision.

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  sb_internal#2 --> &journal->j_trans_barrier --> &oi->ip_alloc_sem/1

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&oi->ip_alloc_sem/1);
