ocfs2: Access the xattr bucket only before modifying it.

In ocfs2_xattr_value_truncate, we may call b-tree codes which will
extend the journal transaction. It has a potential problem that it
may let the already-accessed-but-not-dirtied buffers gone. So we'd
better access the bucket after we call ocfs2_xattr_value_truncate.
And as for the root buffer for the xattr value, b-tree code will
acess and dirty it, so we don't need to worry about it.
