[PATCH] Fix a squashfs crash when reading large directories

SquashFS encodes directories with more than 256 entries, with xattrs or
a few other things with a different type of inode than most directories.
This type of directory entry has an indexing feature to increase the
performance of filename lookups. When U-Boot's squashfs driver
calculates the length of such an inode, it incorrectly adds one to the
number of indexes which causes the length to be miscalculated, causing a
synchronous abort when reading the next inode.
This occurs for directories that satisfy all the following conditions:
* They have at least 257 entries, the size of their inodes add to >8K,
or they have extended attributes.
* They are not the root directory (as there is no subsequent inode to
read), and are not the last child of the root directory.
* The length of the names of all the child files sum to a sufficent
value (I think this is the point where the child entries span multiple
metadata blocks, but I haven't confirmed it)
The following script generates a squashfs that was crashing when listed:
mkdir -p files/{a,b,c}
pad=aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
for i in {1..257}; do touch files/b/file-$(printf '%03d' $i)-$pad done
mksquashfs files result.squashfs
