So I did some more grepping and I think we are missing i_version increment
in ext4 ioctl handling. In particular stuff like swap_inode_boot_loader(),
ext4_ioctl_setflags(), ext4_ioctl_setproject(), and EXT4_IOC_SETVERSION
handling in __ext4_ioctl() need i_version increment. Similarly for defrag
ioctl implemented in ext4_move_extents() (that even seems to miss a ctime
update).
