Really? I realize that it may be a case that most users won't actually hit,
but it is a 5 line change that fixes four xfstests regressions between v4.3 and
v4.4 for my DAX testing...

Is there a strong reason *not* to push it in the v4.4 cycle? I'm trying to
clear up all xfstests differences between DAX and non-DAX, and this would help
quite a bit.
