There's only one flag in that set, right? And we only need that flag
for a future v2 inode features we add? i.e. any new feature will be
on a v3 inode format because the v2 format is the legacy inode
format and we're not developing new features for it.
[ There's also the minor issue that the remaining flag bit in
di_flags is reserved for the "more flags" flag bit so that we know
to grab flags from some other padding in the inode we redefined to
hold more flags in the v2 inode format. But that's irrelevant now
because it's a legacy format. ]
IOWs, I think the original code here is just fine because we're not
going to add new v2 format inode features in the future.

This bit it fine, though :)
Cheers,
