[f2fs-dev][PATCH 1/2] f2fs: check name_len of dir entry to prevent from deadloop

[Chao Yu]

We assume that modification of some special application could result in zeroed
name_len, or it is consciously made by somebody. We will deadloop in
find_in_block when name_len of dir entry is zero.

This patch is added for preventing deadloop in above scenario.
