ext4_dx_add_entry manipulates bh2 and frames[0].bh, which are two buffer_heads
that point to directory blocks assigned to the directory inode. However, the
function calls ext4_handle_dirty_metadata with the inode of the file that's
being added to the directory, not the directory inode itself. Therefore,
correct the code to dirty the directory buffers with the directory inode, not
the file inode.

Interesting. For journaled filesystems this is purely cosmetic, since
"handle" is valid and "inode" is unused in that case. For non-journal
filesystems it actually affects the correctness, since this buffer may
not be sync'd to disk even when the directory is marked "dirsync".

Hm.... any thoughts, Ted? Will this be picked up for 3.1/3.2?
