ext4: avoid cycles in directory h-tree
commit 3ba733f879c2a88910744647e41edeefbc0d92b2 upstream.
A maliciously corrupted filesystem can contain cycles in the h-tree
stored inside a directory. That can easily lead to the kernel corrupting
tree nodes that were already verified under its hands while doing a node
split and consequently accessing unallocated memory. Fix the problem by
verifying traversed block numbers are unique.
