Seems that __ext4_iget() is not called on writes. You can find below the 
sequence of calls that leads to the bug. The debug was done on v6.2-rc1.
I assume the extents check is no longer done on writes since
commit 7a262f7c69163cd4811f2f838faef5c5b18439c9. The commit doesn't
specify the reason though.

Cheers,
