>> After traversing all directory entries, hint the empty directory

>>
>> After this commit, hint the empty directory entries like this:
>>
>> 1. Hint the deleted directory entries if enough;
>> 2. Hint the deleted and unused directory entries which at the
>> end of the cluster chain no matter whether enough or not(Add
>> by this commit);
>> 3. If no any empty directory entries, hint the empty directory
>> entries in the new cluster(Add by this commit).
>>
>> This avoids repeated traversal of directory entries, reduces CPU
>> usage, and improves the performance of creating files and
>> directories(especially on low-performance CPUs).
>>
