Subject: [PATCH -next] ext4: avoid remove directory when directory is corrupted

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.
