[PATCH v2 2/3] fs/squashfs: add sqfs_dir_offset() error checks

sqfs_dir_offset() returns a negative errno on failure, but three
call sites in sqfs_search_dir() use the return value as an array
index without checking for errors first. If the lookup fails,
dirs->table is set to an invalid address, leading to undefined
behavior.
Add negative-value guards after each sqfs_dir_offset() call so
that any lookup failure propagates cleanly as an error rather
than producing incorrect results.
Note: the corresponding sqfs_find_inode() NULL checks and the
heap exhaustion fix during symlink resolution are applied in
separate patches.

Changes in v2:
- Free dirs->entry and reset it to NULL in the two error paths
reachable while a directory entry is held, so a lookup failure
no longer leaks the entry (reported by Richard Genoud)
