Can you do this as a new commit?  I've already bumped the master
pointer up since I finished running xfstests and I'm seeing no
regressions (at least with my set of xfstests).  So given that
everything has been tested and things looks pretty stable, I pushed up
the master branch.

I did remember that you were still working on this regression, but
since we're already half-way through the merge window, I really want
to make things are ready for a merge request to Linus.  (Which I
probably will be sending to Linus by Monday or Tuesday.)

I do plan to collect bug fixes and any remaining regression fixes to
push to Linus by -rc2 or -rc3, so if don't rush fixing up defrag
functionality.

Thanks!!
