Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ext4: make sure the first directory block is not a hole

From: Baokun Li <libaokun1@...wei.com>

The syzbot constructs a directory that has no dirblock but is non-inline,
i.e. the first directory block is a hole. And no errors are reported when
creating files in this directory in the following flow.

    ext4_mknod
     ...
      ext4_add_entry
        // Read block 0
        ext4_read_dirblock(dir, block, DIRENT)
          bh = ext4_bread(NULL, inode, block, 0)
          if (!bh && (type == INDEX || type == DIRENT_HTREE))
          // The first directory block is a hole
          // But type == DIRENT, so no error is reported.

After that, we get a directory block without '.' and '..' but with a valid
dentry. This may cause some code that relies on dot or dotdot (such as
make_indexed_dir()) to crash.

Therefore when ext4_read_dirblock() finds that the first directory block
is a hole report that the filesystem is corrupted and return an error to
avoid loading corrupted data from disk causing something bad.
