This makes me want to remove uses of ext2_dir_entry and instead use
ext2_dir_entry_2 everywhere.  That will avoid a lot of potential
errors in the code, and I think the only possible use for the old
ext2_dir_entry is for ancient big-endian filesystems that were "v1"
format and didn't have EXT2_INCOMPAT_FILETYPE (which appeared in
e2fsprogs commit 89fe431a8 from Linux 2.1.90).
