ext4: wipe ext4_dir_entry2 upon file deletion
Upon file deletion, zero out all fields in ext4_dir_entry2 besides rec_len. In case sensitive data is stored in filenames, this ensures no potentially sensitive data is left in the directory entry upon deletion. Also, wipe these fields upon moving a directory entry during the conversion to an htree and when splitting htree nodes. The data wiped may still exist in the journal, but there are future commits planned to address this.
