Looks like an improvement to me, if only to give a name and clarity to
the "EXT3_FITS_IN_INODE()" part of the function.

One other note - there was a problem with the original patch because
i_crtime is also in the extended part of the inode so it needs to
be validated against i_extra_isize so we need to submit a new patch
for that anyways and may as well include this cleanup in that patch.

Thanks Dave.

I think this should be:

	return cpu_to_le32((sizeof(time->tv_sec) > 4 ?
			    (time->tv_sec >> 32) & EXT3_EPOCH_MASK : 0) |
			   (time->tv_nsec << EXT3_EPOCH_BITS));

We should use EXT3_EPOCH_BITS, and don't really need "& EXT3_NSEC_MASK"
unless there is some reason to believe that tv_nsec is > 1e9.  Even then
it would be truncated at 32 bits by the (__u32) cast in cpu_to_le32().

And this should be:

	time->tv_nsec = (le32_to_cpu(extra) & EXT3_NSEC_MASK) >>EXT3_EPOCH_BITS;

We could again skip the "& EXT3_NSEC_MASK" because le32_to_cpu(extra) will
truncate the input at 32 bits, so:

	time->tv_nsec = le32_to_cpu(extra) >> EXT3_EPOCH_BITS;
