The change is really just that, having names that are more generic
which do not limit use cases to block sharing. In a subsequent patch
in the series ("[PATCH v4 27/28] ext4: xattr inode deduplication"), we
start using the mbcache code to share xattr inodes. With that patch,
old mb_cache_entry.e_block field could be holding either a block
number or an inode number, so I renamed things to make them more
generic.
