Subject: [PATCH] xfs: improve dirent bounds checking in scrub and repair

LOLLM complains that we don't do enough bounds checking of the directory
entries in directory blocks when we're looking for errors or trying to
salvage entries.  Let's improve that with more detailed checks.

Fixes: ce92d29ddf9908 ("xfs: directory scrubber must walk through data block to offset")
