Theodore Ts'o 06a279d636 ext4: only use i_size_high for regular files
Directories are not allowed to be bigger than 2GB, so don't use
i_size_high for anything other than regular files.  E2fsck should
complain about these inodes, but the simplest thing to do for the
kernel is to only use i_size_high for regular files.

This prevents an intentially corrupted filesystem from causing the
kernel to burn a huge amount of CPU and issuing error messages such
as:

EXT4-fs warning (device loop0): ext4_block_to_path: block 135090028 > max

Thanks to David Maciejak from Fortinet's FortiGuard Global Security
Research Team for reporting this issue.
