Subject: regression in 4.5-rc5 - generic/324 failure

I'm seeing generic/324 fail consistently when run with xfstest-bld's test
appliance in the 1k block size test case on x86_64.  This happened first on my
4.5-rc5 regression run, and it repeated on -rc6 and -rc7.

Reverting a commit introduced in 4.5-rc5 inhibits the failure:
"ext4: don't read blocks from disk after extents being swapped" (bcff24887d00)

And here's the failed test output:
