Users have occasionally reported that file type for some directory entries is wrong. This mostly happened after updating libraries some libraries. After some debugging the problem was traced down to xfs_dir2_node_replace(). The function uses args->filetype as a file type to store in the replaced directory entry however it also calls xfs_da3_node_lookup_int() which will store file type of the current directory entry in args->filetype. Thus we fail to change file type of a directory entry to a proper type. Fix the problem by storing new file type in a local variable before calling xfs_da3_node_lookup_int().
