hfsplus: prevent btree data loss on root split



Creating, renaming or deleting a file may cause catalog corruption and
data loss.  This bug is randomly triggered by xfstests generic/027, but
here is a faster reproducer:

  truncate -s 50M fs.iso
  mkfs.hfsplus fs.iso
  mount fs.iso /mnt
  i=100
  while [ $i -le 150 ]; do
    touch /mnt/$i &>/dev/null
    ((++i))
  done
  i=100
  while [ $i -le 150 ]; do
    mv /mnt/$i /mnt/$(perl -e "print $i x82") &>/dev/null
    ((++i))
  done
  umount /mnt
  fsck.hfsplus -n fs.iso

The bug is triggered whenever hfs_brec_update_parent() needs to split the
root node.  The height of the btree is not increased, which leaves the new
node orphaned and its records lost.
