If the directory is corrupted and the number of nlinks is less than 2
(valid nlinks have at least 2), then when the directory is deleted, the
minix_rmdir will try to reduce the nlinks(unsigned int) to a negative
value.

Make nlinks validity check for directory in minix_lookup.

Signed-off-by: Andrey Kriulin <kitotavrik.s@gmail.com>

v2: Move nlinks validaty check to V[12]_minix_iget() per Jan Kara
<jack@suse.cz> request. Change return error code to EUCLEAN. Don't block
directory in r/o mode per Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> request.
