We picked the previous XFS patch for extent parsing but did not pick
this one because it had not been merged at that point yet, the fix
only got merged two weeks or so ago, and we didn't want to take chances
and pick it ahead of time as it's security critical code (filesystem
parsing is where all the security bugs live!).

The release was supposed to be out 2 weeks ago but got pushed back
another week to last week's release, sadly.
