If we decide not to include these patches, we should then remove support
for the EXT2_FEATURE_COMPAT_EXT_ATTR flag, because the code does not actually
support properly preparing or resizing filesystems with EAs (though online
resize is OK).  Secondly, prepare and resize should be denied for s_inode_size
that isn't EXT2_GOOD_OLD_INODE_SIZE.
