Subject: [PATCH 3.2 071/164] ext4: move check under lock scope to close a
 race.

3.2.70-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Davide Italiano <dccitaliano@...il.com>

commit 280227a75b56ab5d35854f3a77ef74a7ad56a203 upstream.

fallocate() checks that the file is extent-based and returns
EOPNOTSUPP in case is not. Other tasks can convert from and to
indirect and extent so it's safe to check only after grabbing
the inode mutex.

[bwh: Backported to 3.2:
 - Adjust context
 - Add the 'out' label]
