Subject: [PATCH] ext3: htree entry integrity checking

 This patch adds integrity checking to two htree paths that are missing it.

 Currently, if a corrupted directory entry with rec_len=0 is encountered,
 we still trust that the data is valid. This can cause an infinite loop
 in htree_dirblock_to_tree() since the iteration loop will never make any
 progress.

 I initially had written a ext3_check_htree_entry(), but saw that
 ext3_dir_entry_2 is used for both htree and regular directory entries. Since
 ext3_check_dir_entry() is used for checking ext3_dir_entry_2, I used that.
 Can someone confirm that this is correct? There are other places where
 de->rec_len == 0 is used by itself and I'd be fine doing that too, but I
 figure more integrity checking isn't a bad thing.

 This fixes the problem described at:
