Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 8/9] ext4: avoid remove directory when directory is corrupted

From: Ye Bin <yebin10@...wei.com>

[ Upstream commit b24e77ef1c6d4dbf42749ad4903c97539cc9755a ]

Now if check directoy entry is corrupted, ext4_empty_dir may return true
then directory will be removed when file system mounted with "errors=continue".
In order not to make things worse just return false when directory is corrupted.
