ext4: fix possible crash on directory traversal, ignore deleted entries

The following command triggers a segfault in search_dir:
./sandbox/u-boot -c 'host bind 0 ./sandbox/test/fs/3GB.ext4.img ;
    ext4write host 0 0 /./foo 0x10'

The following command triggers a segfault in check_filename:
./sandbox/u-boot -c 'host bind 0 ./sandbox/test/fs/3GB.ext4.img ;
    ext4write host 0 0 /. 0x10'

"." is the first entry in the directory, thus previous_dir is NULL. The
whole previous_dir block in search_dir seems to be a bad copy from
check_filename(...). As the changed data is not written to disk, the
statement is mostly harmless, save the possible NULL-ptr reference.

Typically a file is unlinked by extending the direntlen of the previous
entry. If the entry is the first entry in the directory block, it is
invalidated by setting inode=0.

The inode==0 case is hard to trigger without crafted filesystems. It only
hits if the first entry in a directory block is deleted and later a lookup
for the entry (by name) is done.
