If we want to turn off inline_data, that means that we need to scan all
used inodes and try to expand it.  It isn't hard but I am wondering if
someone really want to disable this feature.  In my opinion, I really
want to enable inline_data feature by default when we believe it is very
stable because it will benefit for all desktop and Android users.
