If an inode has more than 4 extents, but then later some of the
extents are merged together, we can optimize the file system by moving
the extents up into the inode, and discarding extent tree block. This
is important, because if there are a large number of inodes with an
external extent tree blocks where the contents could fit in the inode,
this can significantly increase the fsck time of the file system.
