[readdir] convert ext3
new helper: dir_relax(inode). Call when you are in location that will
_not_ be invalidated by directory modifications (block boundary, in case
of ext*). Returns whether the directory has survived (dropping i_mutex
allows rmdir to kill the sucker; if it returns false to us, ->iterate()
is obviously done)
