Primarily the "dirent tail missing" case happens if the user runs tune2fs to
add checksums to a FS and it encounters a directory block that doesn't have
enough space to store the directory block checksum field. When this happens,
tune2fs advises the user to run e2fsck -D to rebuild the directories. The -D
switch isn't strictly necessary.
The particular sub-case that this patch tries to capture is where the user
ignores the "e2fsck -D" request, deletes entries out of the dir block, and some
time later runs e2fsck. In that case, we can skip a full rebuild and just fix
the block.
