I agree with moving ext4_xattr_rehash_entry() out of ext4_xattr_rehash().
However how about just keeping ext4_xattr_rehash() in
ext4_xattr_block_set() (so that you don't have to pass aditional argument
to ext4_xattr_set_entry()) and calling ext4_xattr_rehash_entry() when
i->value != NULL? That would seem easier and cleaner as well...
