ext4: Do not try to validate extents on special files
The EXTENTS_FL flag should never be set on special files, but if it
is, don't bother trying to validate that the extents tree is valid,
since only files, directories, and non-fast symlinks will ever have an
extent data structure. We perhaps should flag the filesystem as being
corrupted if we see a special file (named pipes, device nodes, Unix
domain sockets, etc.) with the EXTENTS_FL flag, but e2fsck doesn't
currently check this case, so we'll just ignore this for now, since
it's harmless.
Without this fix, a special device with the extents flag is flagged as
an error by the kernel, so it is impossible to access or delete the
inode, but e2fsck doesn't see it as a problem, leading to
confused/frustrated users.
