I noticed that you have merged the changes in the patch queue...

read_inode() also sunset, as removed in 
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.24/2.6.24-mm1/broken-out/iget-remove-iget-and-the-read_inode-super-op-as.patch

so above changes won't compile in mm tree.

I have fixed it in patch queue, using ext4_iget() to replace iget() and read-inode() as suggested in iget-stop-ext4-from-using-iget-and-read_inode-try.patch 

http://repo.or.cz/w/ext4-patch-queue.git?a=blob;f=ext4-online-defrag-iget-read-inode-fix.patch;h=94660ca7371680fcd02bb5804016b4cae4f20846;hb=85589744f9d53579a12aa463ccd42fb450aec786
