This part of the patch works fine for my test case - no more bogus
attributes, even when mounting with the "attrs" option.

This part, however, does not work - apparently the condition is never
true, even on a freshly created 3.6-format filesystem:

# mkreiserfs --format 3.6 -f tmp2.img
# mount -t reiserfs -o loop tmp2.img /mnt/disk/
# lsattr -d /mnt/disk/
lsattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device While reading flags on /mnt/disk/


Apparently directories always have old key format, even on new
filesystems:

if (old_format_only(sb) || S_ISDIR(mode) || S_ISLNK(mode))
set_inode_item_key_version(inode, KEY_FORMAT_3_5);
else
set_inode_item_key_version(inode, KEY_FORMAT_3_6);

However, checking the stat data format works:

}

But this patch has another problem - it forces the "attrs" option on
for such filesystems, leaving no way to turn it off - the "noattrs"
option is ignored. This does not look good.
