ext4: ext4_search_dir should return a proper error

ext4_search_dir currently returns -1 in case of a failure, while it returns
0 when the name is not found. In such failure cases, it should return an
error code instead.

This becomes even more important when ext4_find_inline_entry returns an
error code as well in the next commit.

-EFSCORRUPTED seems appropriate as such error code as these failures would
be caused by unexpected record lengths and is in line with other instances
of ext4_check_dir_entry failures.

In the case of ext4_dx_find_entry, the current use of ERR_BAD_DX_DIR was
left as is to reduce the risk of regressions.
