[PATCH v5 09/13] ext4: move verity info pointer to fs-specific part of inode

Move the fsverity_info pointer into the filesystem-specific part of the
inode by adding the field ext4_inode_info::i_verity_info and configuring
fsverity_operations::inode_info_offs accordingly.
This is a prerequisite for a later commit that removes
inode::i_verity_info, saving memory and improving cache efficiency on
filesystems that don't support fsverity.
