ext2: unbugger ext2_empty_dir()



In 27cfa258 "ext2: fix fs corruption when trying to remove
a non-empty directory with IO error" a funny thing has happened:

-               page = ext2_get_page(inode, i, dir_has_error, &page_addr);
+               page = ext2_get_page(inode, i, 0, &page_addr);

 -               if (IS_ERR(page)) {
 -                       dir_has_error = 1;
 -                       continue;
 -               }
 +               if (IS_ERR(page))
 +                       goto not_empty;

And at not_empty: we hit ext2_put_page(page, page_addr), which does
put_page(page).  Which, unless I'm very mistaken, should oops
immediately when given ERR_PTR(-E...) as page.

OK, shit happens, insufficiently tested patches included.  But when
commit in question describes the fault-injection test that exercised
that particular failure exit...

Ow.
