Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix the time handling macros when ext4 is using
 small inodes

If ext4 is using small on-disk inodes, then it may not be able to store
fine grained timestamps. It also can't store the i_crtime at all in that
case since that fully lives in the extended part of the inode.

979492850abd got the EXT4_EINODE_{GET,SET}_XTIME macros wrong, and would
still store the tv_sec field of the i_crtime into the raw_inode, even
when they were small, corrupting adjacent memory.

This fixes those macros to skip setting anything in the raw_inode if the
tv_sec field doesn't fit, and to properly return a {0,0} timestamp when
the raw_inode doesn't support it.

Fixes: 979492850abd ("ext4: convert to ctime accessor functions")
