[PATCH] nilfs2: fix nilfs_empty_dir() misjudgment and long loop on I/O errors

[Ryusuke Konishi]

The error handling in nilfs_empty_dir() when a directory folio/page
read fails is incorrect, as in the old ext2 implementation, and if the
folio/page cannot be read or nilfs_check_folio() fails, it will falsely
determine the directory as empty and corrupt the file system.

In addition, since nilfs_empty_dir() does not immediately return on
a failed folio/page read, but continues to loop, this can cause a long
loop with I/O if i_size of the directory's inode is also corrupted,
causing the log writer thread to wait and hang, as reported by syzbot.

Fix these issues by making nilfs_empty_dir() immediately return a false
value (0) if it fails to get a directory folio/page.

Hi Andrew, please apply this as a bug fix.

This fixes a bug in the empty directory function and the resulting
hang issue reported by syzbot.

Thanks,
