Not a regression. This is testing directory data fork extent count
overflow using error injection, but you might notice that the title
of the commit is "Directory's data fork extent counter can never
overflow".

IOWs, we changed fine grained directory extent count overflow
from a runtime check (on every dir op) to an inode verifier
check that is only run when the directory inode is read from or
written to disk.

The test probably should be removed. Chandan?

Cheers,

Dave.
