The is_block parameter is also used to decide whether block reserve
check should be performed:

                 * attribute block so that a long value does not occupy the

                                        EXT4_XATTR_BLOCK_RESERVE(inode)) {
                        ret = -ENOSPC;

Because of that, I think moving ext4_xattr_rehash to caller makes it
bit more complicated. Let me know if you disagree.
