Both ext3 and ext4 htree_dirblock_to_tree() is just filling
the in-core rbtree for use by call_filldir().  All updates of
->f_pos are done by the latter; bumping it here (on error) is obviously
wrong - we might very well have it nowhere near the block we'd found
an error in.

Applied, thanks.  Nice catch!

Jan, I'll carry the fix for ext3 as well in the ext4 tree, unless
you'd prefer otherwise.
