Hi Tadeusz,

I don't think this is the right fix. We're in ext4_writepages, so at
this point I don't think an inode should have any actual inline data in
it. If it does it's a bug and the question is how did this get here?

The inode is likely corrupted and it should have been noticed earliler
and it should never get here.
