A previous patch https://github.com/Cray/lustre/commit/6d4fb6694
"LUS-4880 osd-ldiskfs: pass uid/gid/xtime directly to ldiskfs"
was intended to be ported to upstream lustre but was lost.

The patch https://review.whamcloud.com/34685/
"LU-12151 osd-ldiskfs: pass owner down rather than transfer it"
passed the inode UID and GID down to ldiskfs at inode allocation
time to avoid the overhead of transferring quota from the inode
(initially created as root) over to the actual user of the file.

The two patches differed slightly in that the LUS-4880 included
passing the a/m/ctimes from osd-ldiskfs to ldiskfs at inode
creation time avoids overhead of setting the timestamps afterward.

Benchmarks using MDTEST:

This patch also reorganizes the ldiskfs patch series in
order to accommodate struct iattr being added to
ldiskfs_create_inode.
All supported server platforms RHEL 7.5+, SUSE 12+ and
ubuntu 18+ are affected.
