Subject: ext4: don't set i_flags in EXT4_IOC_SETFLAGS
From: Tao Ma <boyu...@taobao.com>
commit b22b1f178f6799278d3178d894f37facb2085765 upstream.
Commit 7990696 uses the ext4_{set,clear}_inode_flags() functions to
change the i_flags automatically but fails to remove the error setting
of i_flags. So we still have the problem of trashing state flags.
Fix this by removing the assignment.
