commit 7aab5c84a0f6ec2290e2ba4a6b245178b1bf949a upstream.

We inject IO error when rmdir non empty direcory, then got issue as follows:
step1: mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/sda
step2: mount /dev/sda test
step3: cd test
step4: mkdir -p 1/2
step5: rmdir 1
[ 110.920551] ext4_empty_dir: inject fault
[ 110.921926] EXT4-fs warning (device sda): ext4_rmdir:3113: inode #12:
comm rmdir: empty directory '1' has too many links (3)
step6: cd ..
step7: umount test
step8: fsck.ext4 -f /dev/sda
e2fsck 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013)

Pass 2: Checking directory structure

/dev/sda: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
/dev/sda: 12/131072 files (0.0% non-contiguous), 26157/524288 blocks

ext4_rmdir
if (!ext4_empty_dir(inode))
goto end_rmdir;
ext4_empty_dir
bh = ext4_read_dirblock(inode, 0, DIRENT_HTREE);
if (IS_ERR(bh))
return true;
Now if read directory block failed, 'ext4_empty_dir' will return true, assume
directory is empty. Obviously, it will lead to above issue.
To solve this issue, if read directory block failed 'ext4_empty_dir' just
return false. To avoid making things worse when file system is already
corrupted, 'ext4_empty_dir' also return false.
