[ Upstream commit 53ce42accd2002cc490fc86000ac532530507a74 ]
When removing space, we should use EXT4_EX_NOCACHE because we don't need to cache extents, and we should also use EXT4_EX_NOFAIL to prevent metadata inconsistencies that may arise from memory allocation failures. While ext4_ext_remove_space() already uses these two flags in most places, they are missing in ext4_ext_search_right() and read_extent_tree_block() calls. Unify the flags to ensure consistent behavior throughout the extent removal process.
