Subject: [PATCH] ext4: set EXT4_EXTENTS_FL only for directory and regular files

Also don't inherit EXT4_EXTENTS_FL from parent directory.
If we have a directory with extent flag set and later mount the file
system with -o noextents, the files created in that directory will also
have extent flag set but we would not have called ext4_ext_tree_init for
them. This will cause error later when we are verifying the extent header

Also we don't want to set extent flag for symlinks, char, block, fifo
or socket
