Subject: [PATCH 2/3]ext4: Initialize moved_len before calling ext4_move_extents()

# This is a RESENT patch
http://marc.info/?l=linux-ext4&m=125498954712519&w=4

ext4: initialize moved_len before calling ext4_move_extents()

From: Kazuya Mio <k-mio@...jp.nec.com>

moved_len of struct move_extent is used to notify
exchanged blocks count to the user space.
So at the beginning of the EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT,
moved_len should be always zero.
Without this patch, if wrong moved_len is passed from the user space,
EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT will return wrong blocks count.
