From: Luís Henriques <lhenriques@xxxxxxx> commit e81c9302a6c3c008f5c30beb73b38adb0170ff2d upstream. When migrating to extents, the temporary inode will have it's own checksum seed. This means that, when swapping the inodes data, the inode checksums will be incorrect. This can be fixed by recalculating the extents checksums again. Or simply by copying the seed into the temporary inode.
