This patch did not apply, and when I worked at it by hand to apply, it
then broke the build with:
	fs/ext4/inode.c: In function ‘ext4_map_blocks’:
fs/ext4/inode.c:669:17: error: ‘EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_ZERO’ undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean ‘EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_PRE_IO’?
       !(flags & EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_ZERO) &&
                 ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As Ted didn't provide this on the list of ext4 patches to backport to
4.4 in the past, I'm a bit hesitant to take this now.  Are you sure it
is needed?

thanks,
