[PATCH] ext4: issue warning when bad inode found via ext4_lookup

[Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com>]

I have a hand-crafted bad filesystem image which has corruption:

[root@inode ~]# ls mnt/dir
file1  file2  file3  file4  file5
[root@inode ~]# ls mnt/dir/file4 
ls: cannot access mnt/dir/file4: No such file or directory
[root@inode ~]# ls -l mnt/dir
ls: cannot access mnt/dir/file4: No such file or directory
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 2007-09-04 13:36 file1
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 2007-09-04 13:36 file2
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 2007-09-04 13:36 file3
d????????? ? ?    ?       ?                ? file4
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 2007-09-04 13:36 file5

e2fsck also knows it's corrupted:
Pass 2: Checking directory structure
Entry 'file4' in /dir (2049) has deleted/unused inode 13.  Clear? no

Entry 'file4' in /dir (2049) has an incorrect filetype (was 2, should be 1).
Fix? no

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

BUT there are no kernel messages logged anywhere because ext4_read_inode
silently makes a bad_inode in this case, so that stale NFS filehandles
aren't noisy.  However, when we encounter such a problem after a by-name
lookup, I think a warning is appropriate, as it indicates filesystem
corruption.
