3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Theodore Ts'o <[email protected]> commit 8cdb5240ec5928b20490a2bb34cb87e9a5f40226 upstream. When expanding the extra isize space, we must never move the system.data xattr out of the inode body. For performance reasons, it doesn't make any sense, and the inline data implementation assumes that system.data xattr is never in the external xattr block.
