In order to prevent a circular locking dependency when an unlink
operation is racing with an ext4 migration, we delay taking i_data_sem
until just before switch the inode format, and use i_mutex to prevent
writes and truncates during the first part of the migration operation.

For fast symbolic links, the file content is stored in the i_block[]
array, which is not compatible with the new file extents format.
e2fsck reports error on such files because EXTENTS_FL is set.
Don't set the EXTENTS_FL flag when creating fast symlinks.
In the case of file migration, skip fast symbolic links.
