Subject: [PATCH] ext2fs: fix to avoid invalid memory access

From: Wang Shilong <wshilong@....com>

Valgrind reported error messages like following:

==129205==  Address 0x1b804b04 is 4 bytes after a block of size 4,096 alloc'd

Dir block might be corrupted and cause the next dirent is out
of block size boundary, even though we have the check to avoid
problem, memory check tools like valgrind still complains it.

Patch try to fix the problem by checking if offset exceed max
offset firstly before getting the pointer.
