[PATCH] 2.6.22.6 fix kernel panic on corrupted reiserfs directory

[lepton <ytht.net@gmail.com>]

Hi,
  When reading corrupted reiserfs directory data, d_reclen
  could be a negative number or a big positive number, this
  can lead to kernel panic or oop.
  The following patch adds a sanity check. (against 2.6.20.4)
