[U-Boot] [PATCH 3/3] ext4: Do not crash when trying to grow a directory using extents

[Lukasz Majewski]

Hi Stefan,

> The following command crashes u-boot:
> ./sandbox/u-boot -c 'i=0; host bind 0 ./sandbox/test/fs/3GB.ext4.img ;
>   while test $i -lt 200 ; do echo $i; setexpr i $i + 1;
>   ext4write host 0 0 /foobar${i} 0; done'
> 
> Previously, the code updated the direct_block even for extents, and
> fortunately crashed before pushing garbage to the disk.
