Subject: [PATCH 3/7] libext2fs: add check for too-short directory blocks

If there is an inline data directory which is smaller than 8 bytes
(which should never happen but for corrupted or fuzzed file systems),
ext2fs_process_dir_block() will now abort EXT2_ET_DIR_CORRUPTED to
avoid an out-of-bounds read.
