Symlink's external data block is one kind of metadata block, and now that almost all ext4 metadata block's page cache (e.g. directory blocks, quota blocks...) belongs to bdev backing inode except the symlink. It is essentially worked in data=journal mode like other regular file's data block because probably in order to make it simple for generic VFS code handling symlinks or some other historical reasons, but the logic of creating external data block in ext4_symlink() is complicated. and it also make things confused if user do not want to let the filesystem worked in data=journal mode. This patch convert the final exceptional case and make things clean, move the mapping of the symlink's external data block to bdev like any other metadata block does.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
