Subject: [PATCH 4.4 29/45] ext4: fix inode checksum calculation problem if i_extra_size is small

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

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

From: Daeho Jeong <daeho.jeong@...sung.com>

commit 05ac5aa18abd7db341e54df4ae2b4c98ea0e43b7 upstream.

We've fixed the race condition problem in calculating ext4 checksum
value in commit b47820edd163 ("ext4: avoid modifying checksum fields
directly during checksum veficationon"). However, by this change,
when calculating the checksum value of inode whose i_extra_size is
less than 4, we couldn't calculate the checksum value in a proper way.
This problem was found and reported by Nix, Thank you.
