Subject: [v2.6.34-stable 176/213] ext4: always set i_op in ext4_mknod()

From: Bernd Schubert <bernd.schubert@...m.fraunhofer.de>

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

    If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
                   -------------------

commit 6a08f447facb4f9e29fcc30fb68060bb5a0d21c2 upstream.

ext4_special_inode_operations have their own ifdef CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR
to mask those methods. And ext4_iget also always sets it, so there is
an inconsistency.
