Subject: [PATCH 2.6.25-rc3-mm1] fix ext2 borkage

use-page_cache_xxx-in-ext2.patch gave me lots of EXT2-fs error (device
loop0): ext2_find_entry: dir 52629 size 5120 exceeds block count 2
so I stopped it quickly.  Creating a directory entry was muddling up the
directory and the linked inode, writing directory page out to the latter.
