Subject: [159/262] ext4: ext4_mkdir should dirty dir_block with newly created directory inode

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Darrick J. Wong" <djwong@...ibm.com>

commit f9287c1f2d329f4d78a3bbc9cf0db0ebae6f146a upstream.

ext4_mkdir calls ext4_handle_dirty_metadata with dir_block and the inode "dir".
Unfortunately, dir_block belongs to the newly created directory (which is
"inode"), not the parent directory (which is "dir").  Fix the incorrect
association.
