When ext4_dx_add_entry() has to split an index node, it has to ensure that name_len of dx_node's fake_dirent is also zero, because otherwise e2fsck won't recognise it as an intermediate htree node and consider the htree to be corrupted.

While it's a simple one liner, this took me forever to (re-)find.

That is all. ;)

Should also be sent to stable I think.
