In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfs: don't spin forever on zero-length dirents when salvaging them
LOLLM noticed that xrep_dir_recover_data can spin forever if it
encounters an unused dirent that claims to have length zero. Fix that,
and prevent the same thing from happening with a zero-length entry.
