Subject: [PATCH 20/21] e2fsck: don't set prev after processing '..' on an
 inline dir

In an inline directory, the '..' entry is compacted down to just the
inode number; there is no full '..' entry.  Therefore, it makes no
sense to assign 'prev' to the fake dotdot entry we put on the stack,
as this could confuse a salvage_directory call on a corrupted next
entry into modifying stack contents (the fake dotdot entry).
