ubifs: Fix AA deadlock when setting xattr for encrypted file

Following process:
vfs_setxattr(host)
  ubifs_xattr_set
    down_write(host_ui->xattr_sem)   <- lock first time
      create_xattr
        ubifs_new_inode(host)
          fscrypt_prepare_new_inode(host)
            fscrypt_policy_to_inherit(host)
              if (IS_ENCRYPTED(inode))
                fscrypt_require_key(host)
                  fscrypt_get_encryption_info(host)
                    ubifs_xattr_get(host)
                      down_read(host_ui->xattr_sem) <- AA deadlock

, which may trigger an AA deadlock problem:

Fetch a reproducer in [Link].

Just like ext4 does, which skips encrypting for inode with
EXT4_EA_INODE_FL flag. Stop encypting xattr inode for ubifs.
