From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx> commit 877ba3f729fd3d8ef0e29bc2a55e57cfa54b2e43 upstream. Commit b5776e7524af ("ext4: fix potential htree index checksum corruption) removed a required restart when multiple levels of index nodes need to be split. Fix this to avoid directory htree corruptions when using the large_dir feature.
