Subject: fix the ext4_read_inline_dir return value

hi，
there may be a bug in ext4_read_inline_dir() function with inline_data feature.
when I recursion call a sys_old_readdir to read a direntry's
sub_dentry,I find that the ext4_read_inline_dir return the len of the
inline_data ,but in the no inline_data case,it will return 0.It is
inconsistent.
So I try to make a patch to fix it.
