PATCH 1/1 xfs_repair: don't error out on dirs with a single leafn block

From: Darrick J. Wong <[email protected]>

In process_node_dir2, we need to distinguish between a directory with a single leafn block (yes, they exist) having no interior da nodes, and a directory with a da tree that incorrectly points to dablk 0. If we happened to fill out any part of the da cursor then we have a da btree with garbage in it; otherwise, we have a single leafn block.

This was found by repair repeatedly rebuilding a directory containing a single leafn block.

Fixes 67a79e2cc932 ("xfs_repair: treat zero da btree pointers as corruption")

I'm inclined to apply Dave's revert for 4.19, and after review, add this fix for 4.20 for more soak. Thoughts?
