Subject: ext4: htree fix for '..' lookup
Avoid looping in directory lookup when ext3_dx_find_entry()
can't find the '..' entry in a directory and then looks it
up in the directory. This results in the ".." (parent
directory) entry being added as the child of a directory
in the dcache. The '..' lookup can happen knfsd is looking
up the path of a disconnected dentry.
