ext4: use file_dentry()
EXT4 may be used as lower layer of overlayfs and accessing f_path.dentry
can lead to a crash.
Fix by replacing direct access of file->f_path.dentry with the
file_dentry() accessor, which will always return a native object.

Fixes: 4bacc9c9234c ("overlayfs: Make f_path always point to the overlay and f_inode to the underlay")
Fixes: ff978b09f973 ("ext4 crypto: move context consistency check to ext4_file_open()")
