OK, so the problem seems the inode in question has the INLINE_DATA
flag set, but i_blocks is non-zero.  And it looks like the data was
actually stored in an exernal data block, and the in-line xattr wasn't
present.

e2fsck should be checking and complaining if this is the case.  If
not, it's a bug in e2fsck.

And the kernel certainy shouldn't be BUG'ing when it comes across
what is clearly a case of file system corruption.

Cheers,
