ext4: do not set SB_ACTIVE in ext4_orphan_cleanup()
When CONFIG_QUOTA is enabled, if we failed to mount the filesystem due to some error happens behind ext4_orphan_cleanup(), it will end up triggering a after free issue of super_block. The problem is that ext4_orphan_cleanup() will set SB_ACTIVE flag if CONFIG_QUOTA is enabled, after we cleanup the truncated inodes, the last iput() will put them into the lru list, and these inodes' pages may probably dirty and will be write back by the writeback thread, so it could be raced by freeing super_block in the error path of mount_bdev(). After check the setting of SB_ACTIVE flag in ext4_orphan_cleanup(), it was used to ensure updating the quota file properly, but evict inode and trash data immediately in the last iput does not affect the quotafile, so setting the SB_ACTIVE flag seems not required[1]. Fix this issue by just remove the SB_ACTIVE setting.
