I appreciate the thoroughness of doing this even for blockmapped
ea_inode files, and I'm not complaining about this hunk at all. :)

However, please consider requiring the extents feature + format as a
prerequisite for ea_inodes. ext4 has traditionally been very ...
permissive about supporting a diverse range of feature options, but the
cost of that diversity is that the feature support matrix that the
community has to support is already untestably large.

I think it would be wise not to support !extents && ea_inode,
particularly since blockmaps aren't protected by metadata_csum and so in
the long run it's probably best to minimize the introduction of new
blockmap files (on ext4 anyway).
