Subject: [PATCH] ext4: swap i_disksize when swaping the boot loader inode

Normally well-behaved of EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT won't actually try to
write to the either inode after using the ioctl, but if they do, the
fact that we're not swapping ei->i_disksize as well as inode->i_size
can trigger warnings.
