Subject: [ 070/120] ext4: online defrag is not supported for journaled files

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@...nvz.org>

commit f066055a3449f0e5b0ae4f3ceab4445bead47638 upstream.

Proper block swap for inodes with full journaling enabled is
truly non obvious task. In order to be on a safe side let's
explicitly disable it for now.
