Thinking again about it, direntlen is read from disk, and as any outside data 
should be untrusted. In case the direntlen is 0, we get an infinite loop here.

Also see commit 54d68e9333ff65d135faac68fa01be4276f1371f :
fs: ext4: Prevent infinite loop in ext4fs_iterate_dir

So better drop this patch.

Kind regards,

Stefan
