    Reason is first directory entry which 'rec_len' is 34478, then will get illegal
    parent entry. Now, we do not check directory entry after read directory block
    in 'ext4_get_first_dir_block'.
    To solve this issue, check directory entry in 'ext4_get_first_dir_block'.

    [ Trigger an ext4_error() instead of just warning if the directory is
      missing a '.' or '..' entry.   Also make sure we return an error code
      if the file system is corrupted.  -TYT ]
