Subject: [PATCH] ext4: improve some code in rb tree part of dir.c

*remove unnecessary code in free_rb_tree_fname
*rename free_rb_tree_fname to ext4_htree_create_dir_info
 since it and ext4_htree_free_dir_info are a pair
*replace kmalloc with kzalloc in ext4_htree_free_dir_info

All these make the code more readable and simple.
PS: this patch is also suitable for ext3.
