It would be desirable for this to be made consistent, but a physical
block number plus the buffer offset is actually much less useful for
someone trying to find the bad directory entry.

So what I've checked into the ext4 patch queue prints both the
physical block nubmer and the relative offset, as well as the
passed-in offset which in many cases is the file offset.

    ext4: make "offset" consistent in ext4_check_dir_entry()
    
    The callers of ext4_check_dir_entry() usually pass in the "file
    offset" (ext4_readdir, htree_dirblock_to_tree, search_dirblock,
    ext4_dx_find_entry, empty_dir), but a few callers (add_dirent_to_buf,
    ext4_delete_entry) only pass in the buffer offset.
    
    To accomodate those last two (which would be hard to fix otherwise),
    this patch changes ext4_check_dir_entry() to print the physical block
    number and the relative offset as well as the passed-in offset.
