Simplified crafted image

Here is a simplified crafted image.   Here is also a simplified reproducer:

mount poc-200933.img.simplified /mnt
rmdir /mnt/foo/bar

The bug is in the function which checks to see if an inline directory is empty;
it is relying on the i_size of the inline directory, and if that value is
larger than what is correct, we can either overrun the buffer, or as in this
case, trigger a division by zero error when we find that the size of the next
"directory entry" is zero.   (This didn't trigger a KASAN error because it was
still a legal part of the inode table block.)
