This is the ext3 version of the same patch applied to Ext4, where such goal is
to audit the usage of ext3_bread() due a possible misinterpretion of its return
value.
Focused on directory blocks, a NULL value returned from ext3_bread() means a
hole, which cannot exist into a directory inode. It can pass undetected after a
fix in an uninitialized error variable.
The (now) initialized variable into ext3_getblk() may lead to a zero'ed return
value of ext3_bread() to its callers, which can make the caller do not detect
the hole in the directory inode.
This checks for directory holes when buffer_head and error value are both
zero'ed returning -EIO to their callers
Some ext3_bread() callers do not needed any changes either because they already
had its own hole detector paths or because these are deprecaded (like
dx_show_entries)
V2: It adds a wrapper function ext3_dir_bread() to check for directory holes
when reading blocks for a directory inode, and callers of ext3_bread() to read
directory blocks were replaced by this wrapper.
