ext4: fix possible use-after-free in ext4_remove_li_request()

commit 1bb933fb1fa8e4cb337a0d5dfd2ff4c0dc2073e8 upstream.

We need to take reference to the s_li_request after we take a mutex,
because it might be freed since then, hence result in accessing old
already freed memory. Also we should protect the whole
ext4_remove_li_request() because ext4_li_info might be in the process of
being freed in ext4_lazyinit_thread().
