[ Upstream commit 5872331b3d91820e14716632ebb56b1399b34fe1 ]

If for any reason a directory passed to do_split() does not have enough
active entries to exceed half the size of the block, we can end up
iterating over all "count" entries without finding a split point.

In this case, count == move, and split will be zero, and we will
attempt a negative index into map[].

Guard against this by detecting this case, and falling back to
split-to-half-of-count instead; in this case we will still have
plenty of space (> half blocksize) in each split block.

Fixes: ef2b02d3e617 ("ext34: ensure do_split leaves enough free space in both 
blocks")
