Take the base inode's mrec_lock in the shared read/seek iomap begin
wrapper so both resident and non-resident lookups run under the same
serialization already used by the write-side metadata path.

The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order
within that path:

read/seek iomap lookup path:
1. Enter __ntfs_read_iomap_begin().
2. Enter ntfs_attr_lookup() / ntfs_external_attr_find() on
   base_ni->attr_list.
3. Keep raw attr_list_entry cursors while mapping the extent.

attr-list mutation path:
1. Enter ntfs_attrlist_entry_add() or ntfs_attrlist_entry_rm().
2. Publish the replacement base_ni->attr_list.
3. kvfree() the old buffer.

Validation reproduced this kernel report:
