commit 79906964a187c405db72a3abc60eb9b50d804fbc upstream.

In commit 353eb83c we removed i_state_flags with 64-bit longs, But
when handling the EXT4_IOC_SETFLAGS ioctl, we replace i_flags
directly, which trashes the state flags which are stored in the high
32-bits of i_flags on 64-bit platforms.  So use the the
ext4_{set,clear}_inode_flags() functions which use atomic bit
manipulation functions instead.

Shouldn't this last assignment have been deleted?

I haven't lost my mind; it's backed up on tape somewhere.
