It's really not necessary to call ext3fs_dirhash(), since we don't
need the hash value for the '.' and '..' case.  So here's a better
patch....

Subject: [PATCH] ext3: Fix use of uninitialized variable in ext3_dx_find_entry()

In the case where we are looking up '.' and '..', those files are
always in the first directory block, so we don't need worry about the
hash value.  This avoids a lint warning message, as a minor cleanup.
