[PATCH] ext4: fix kernel segfault after iterator overflow

[Jan Henrik Weinstock]

When search_buf gets placed at the end of the virtual address space
        de = (struct ext4_dir_entry_2 *) ((char *) de + de_len);
might overflow to zero and a subsequent loop iteration will crash.

Observed on a simulated riscv32 system using 2GB of memory and a rootfs
on MMC.
