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

------------------

From: Al Viro <[email protected]>

commit 64cb927371cd2ec43758d8a094a003d27bc3d0dc upstream.

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.
