As symlinks are limited to a single block anyway, and e2fsck
doesn't expect to find it set, don't set the extents flag on 
any type of symlinks at all: fast/in-inode, or the 
external-block flavor.

There are a lot of filesystems out there by now w/ exent-style 
symlink blocks though, so e2fsck should probably be able to 
repair that at some point...
