f2fs: enhance on-disk inode structure scalability

This patch add new flag F2FS_EXTRA_ATTR storing in inode.i_inline
to indicate that on-disk structure of current inode is extended.

In order to extend, we changed the inode structure a bit:

Original one:

struct f2fs_inode {
	...
	struct f2fs_extent i_ext;
	__le32 i_addr[DEF_ADDRS_PER_INODE];
	__le32 i_nid[DEF_NIDS_PER_INODE];
}

Extended one:

struct f2fs_inode {
        ...
        struct f2fs_extent i_ext;
	union {
		struct {
			__le16 i_extra_isize;
			__le16 i_padding;
			__le32 i_extra_end[0];
		};
		__le32 i_addr[DEF_ADDRS_PER_INODE];
	};
        __le32 i_nid[DEF_NIDS_PER_INODE];
}

Once F2FS_EXTRA_ATTR is set, we will steal four bytes in the head of
i_addr field for storing i_extra_isize and i_padding. with i_extra_isize,
we can calculate actual size of reserved space in i_addr, available
attribute fields included in total extra attribute fields for current
inode can be described as below:

  +--------------------+
  | .i_mode            |
  | ...                |
  | .i_ext             |
  +--------------------+
  | .i_extra_isize     |-----+
  | .i_padding         |     |
  | .i_prjid           |     |
  | .i_atime_extra     |     |
  | .i_ctime_extra     |     |
  | .i_mtime_extra     |<----+
  | .i_inode_cs        |<----- store blkaddr/inline from here
  | .i_xattr_cs        |
  | ...                |
  +--------------------+
  |                    |
  |    block address   |
  |                    |
  +--------------------+
  | .i_nid             |
  +--------------------+
  |   node_footer      |
  | (nid, ino, offset) |
  +--------------------+

Hence, with this patch, we would enhance scalability of f2fs inode for
storing more newly added attribute.
