ext4: disallow hard-linked directory in ext4_lookup
commit 7e936b737211e6b54e34b71a827e56b872e958d8 upstream.
A hard-linked directory to its parent can cause the VFS to deadlock,
and is a sign of a corrupted file system. So detect this case in
ext4_lookup(), before the rmdir() lockup scenario can take place.
