Vulnerability Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: fix WARNING in ext4_update_inline_data Syzbot found the following issue: EXT4-fs (loop0): mounted filesystem 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 without journal.

We do not need to set EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA flag here, since ext4_mark_inode_dirty() already sets this flag if needed. Setting EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA when it is needed may trigger a BUG_ON in ext4_writepages().
