[34-longterm 022/260] ext4: Clear the EXT4_EOFBLOCKS_FL flag only when warranted

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

commit 786ec7915e530936b9eb2e3d12274145cab7aa7d upstream.

Dimitry Monakhov discovered an edge case where it was possible for the
EXT4_EOFBLOCKS_FL flag could get cleared unnecessarily. This is true;
I have a test case that can be exercised via downloading and
decompressing the file:

wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tytso/ext4-testcases/eofblocks-fl-test-case.img.bz2
bunzip2 eofblocks-fl-test-case.img
dd if=/dev/zero of=eofblocks-fl-test-case.img bs=1k seek=17925 bs=1k count=1 conv=notrunc

However, triggering it in real life is highly unlikely since it
requires an extremely fragmented sparse file with a hole in exactly
the right place in the extent tree. (It actually took quite a bit of
work to generate this test case.) Still, it's nice to get even
extreme corner cases to be correct, so this patch makes sure that we
don't clear the EXT4_EOFBLOCKS_FL incorrectly even in this corner
case.
