    e2fsck: fix use after free in calculate_tree()
    
    The problem is alloc_blocks() will call get_next_block() which might
    reallocate outdir->buf, and memory address could be changed after
    this.  To fix this, pointers that point into outdir->buf, such as
    int_limit and root need to be recaulated based on the new starting
    address of outdir->buf.
    
    [ Changed to correctly recalculate int_limit, and to optimize how we
      reallocate outdir->buf.  -TYT ]
