Subject: [RFC][PATCH] ext4: Enable extent format for symlink.

This patch enable extent format for normal symlink. Extent format enables
to refere file system blocks > 32 bits. Enabling extent format for symlink
enables to have symlink block beyond 2**32 blocks. We still don't enable
extent format for fast symlink.
