Title:
  stat does not display ext4 crtime

Status in coreutils package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in coreutils package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  This is an Oneiric install which was upgraded to Precise.

  -(cmsj@kiryo)-(~)- mount | head -1
  /dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro)

  Note that / is mounted as ext4

  -(cmsj@kiryo)-(~)- rm /tmp/statlol
  -(cmsj@kiryo)-(~)- date
  Wed May  9 13:50:18 BST 2012
  -(cmsj@kiryo)-(~)- touch /tmp/statlol
  -(cmsj@kiryo)-(~)- stat -c "%w" /tmp/statlol
  -

  This should have shown the current time as the "birth" time of the
  file.

  -(cmsj@kiryo)-(~)- stat /tmp/statlol
    File: `/tmp/statlol'
    Size: 0         	Blocks: 0          IO Block: 4096   regular empty file
  Device: 801h/2049d	Inode: 396056      Links: 1

  Change: 2012-05-09 13:50:21.927574000 +0100
   Birth: -

  Full stat output shows that all other time fields are shown, but
  "Birth" (crtime) is not.

  -(cmsj@kiryo)-(~)- sudo debugfs -R 'stat /tmp/statlol' /dev/sda1

  Calling stat() directly with debugfs shows that crtime is indeed
  populated correctly, which suggests that coreutils' stat(1) is not
  able to display it correctly.
