4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit f39b3f45dbcb0343822cce31ea7636ad66e60bc2 upstream.
When ext4_find_entry() falls back to "searching the old fashioned way" due to a corrupt dx dir, it needs to reset the error code to NULL so that the nonstandard ERR_BAD_DX_DIR code isn't returned to userspace.
