ext4: Use the ext4_ext_actual_len() helper function
ext4 uses the high bit of the extent length to encode whether the extent is intialized or not. The helper function ext4_ext_get_actual_len should be used to get the actual length of the extent. This addresses the kernel bug documented here: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9732 kernel BUG at fs/ext4/extents.c:1056! ....
