Why do you say it's unnecessary?  The dedicated function does (or at least is
supposed to) do exactly what you want.

Now I'm wondering -- why worry about size at all?  You can modify
ext2fs_symlink to call ext2fs_inline_data_set() directly.  If there's not
enough room, it'll return EXT2_ET_INLINE_DATA_NO_SPACE and you can try again
with the classic stuff-it-in-a-block method.

(Of course, if you try this and the API turns not to behave as advertised I'd
like to hear about that too. :))
