Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Don't set EXTENTS_FL flag for fast symlinks

Don't set EXTENTS_FL flag for fast symlinks

From: Valerie Clement <valerie.clement@...l.net>

For fast symbolic links, the file content is stored in the i_block[]
array, which is not compatible with the new file extents format.
e2fsck reports error on such files because EXTENTS_FL is set.
Don't set the EXTENTS_FL flag when creating fast symlinks.

In the case of file migration, skip fast symbolic links.

Signed-off-by: Valerie Clement <valerie.clement@...l.net>
