[PATCH, RFC] - issue warning when bad inode found via ext3_lookup

[Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com>]

I have a hand-crafted bad filesystem image which has a corrupted directory
entry:

[root@inode ~]# ls mnt/Picture
LINKS_20  OBEN_20  VORNE_20  VORN_LINKS_20  VORN_RECHTS_20
[root@inode ~]# ls mnt/Picture/VORN_LINKS_20 
ls: cannot access mnt/Picture/VORN_LINKS_20: No such file or directory
[root@inode ~]# stat mnt/Picture/VORN_LINKS_20 
stat: cannot stat `mnt/Picture/VORN_LINKS_20': No such file or directory
[root@inode ~]# ls -l mnt/Picture
ls: cannot access mnt/Picture/VORN_LINKS_20: No such file or directory
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 2007-09-04 13:36 LINKS_20
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 2007-09-04 13:36 OBEN_20
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 2007-09-04 13:36 VORNE_20
d????????? ? ?    ?       ?                ? VORN_LINKS_20
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 2007-09-04 13:36 VORN_RECHTS_20

e2fsck also knows it's corrupted:
Pass 2: Checking directory structure
Entry 'VORN_LINKS_20' in /Picture (2049) has deleted/unused inode 13.  Clear? no

Entry 'VORN_LINKS_20' in /Picture (2049) has an incorrect filetype (was 2, should be 1).
Fix? no

Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity
Unconnected directory inode 2053 (/Picture/???)

BUT there are no kernel messages anywhere.

I think the below makes sense; I don't think there are any instances where an
inode found via a filename passed to ext3_lookup should be returning a bad inode
without warning; NFS may pass in a stale filehandle which also makes a bad inode, 
but that shouldn't go through lookup...

Comments?  (if it looks good I'll resubmit for ext*_lookup)
