Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo fc19e8a7c4 ext4: ext4_search_dir should return a proper error
[ Upstream commit cd69f8f9de280e331c9e6ff689ced0a688a9ce8f ]

ext4_search_dir currently returns -1 in case of a failure, while it returns
0 when the name is not found. In such failure cases, it should return an
error code instead.

This becomes even more important when ext4_find_inline_entry returns an
error code as well in the next commit.

-EFSCORRUPTED seems appropriate as such error code as these failures would
be caused by unexpected record lengths and is in line with other instances
of ext4_check_dir_entry failures.

In the case of ext4_dx_find_entry, the current use of ERR_BAD_DX_DIR was
left as is to reduce the risk of regressions.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
