[34-longterm 013/260] ext4: Do not zero out uninitialized extents beyond i_size

From: Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@openvz.org>

commit 21ca087a3891efab4d45488db8febee474d26c68 upstream.

The extents code will sometimes zero out blocks and mark them as
initialized instead of splitting an extent into several smaller ones.
This optimization however, causes problems if the extent is beyond
i_size because fsck will complain if there are uninitialized blocks
after i_size as this can not be distinguished from an inode that has
an incorrect i_size field.
