3.16.7-ckt11 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me 
know.

------------------

From: Theodore Ts'o <[email protected]>

commit 713e8dde3e71e92db2d8cc8459d236ce1fb576ce upstream.

We accidently aliased EXT4_EX_NOCACHE and EXT4_GET_CONVERT_UNWRITTEN
falgs, which apparently was hiding a bug that was unmasked when this
flag aliasing issue was addressed (see the subsequent commit).  The
reproduction case was:

   fsx -N 10000 -l 500000 -r 4096 -t 4096 -w 4096 -Z -R -W /vdb/junk

... which would cause fsx to report corruption in the data file.

The fix we have is a bit of an overkill, but I'd much rather be
conservative for now, and we can optimize ZERO_RANGE_FL handling
later.  The fact that we need to zap the extent_status cache for the
inode is unfortunate, but correctness is far more important than
performance.
