[PATCH V4 3/8] ext4: specify the free pointer offset for ext4_inode_cache

[Harry Yoo <harry.yoo@oracle.com>]

Convert ext4_inode_cache to use the kmem_cache_args interface and
specify a free pointer offset.

Since ext4_inode_cache uses a constructor, the free pointer would be
placed after the object to overwriting fields used by the constructor.
However, some fields such as ->i_flags are not used by the constructor
and can safely be repurposed for the free pointer.

Specify the free pointer offset at i_flags to reduce the object size.
