Subject: [PATCH 2/3] ext4: Do not populate extents tree with outdated offsets while shifting extents

Inside ext4_ext_shift_extents() function ext4_find_extent() is called
without EXT4_EX_NOCACHE flag, which should prevent cache population.

This leads to oudated offsets in the extents tree and wrong blocks
afterwards.

Patch fixes the problem providing EXT4_EX_NOCACHE flag for each
ext4_find_extents() call inside ext4_ext_shift_extents function.
