ext4: support simple conversion of extent-mapped inodes to use i_blocks
In order to make it simpler to test the code which support
i_blocks/indirect-mapped inodes, support the conversion of inodes
which are less than 12 blocks and which are contained in no more than
a single extent.
The primary intended use of this code is to converting freshly created
zero-length files and empty directories.
Note that the version of chattr in e2fsprogs 1.42.7 and earlier has a
check that prevents the clearing of the extent flag. A simple patch
which allows "chattr -e <file>" to work will be checked into the
e2fsprogs git repository.
