Subject: [PATCH 1/2] inode.c: only update the icache for ext2_inode

We read the cache when:

bufsize == sizeof(struct ext2_inode)

so we should update the cache in the same rule, otherwise there would be
errors, for example:

cache[0]: cached ino 14 when bufsize = 128 by ext2fs_write_inode_full()
cache[1]: cached ino 14 when bufsize = 156 by ext2fs_read_inode_full()

Then update the cache:
cache[0]: cached ino 15 when bufsize = 156 by ext2fs_read_inode_full()

And the ino 14 would hit the cache[1] when bufsize = 128 (but it was
cached by bufsize = 156), so there would be errors.
