Subject: Btrfs: bail out gracefully rather than BUG_ON

From: Liu Bo <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 56a0e706fcf870270878d6d72b71092ae42d229c ]

If a file's DIR_ITEM key is invalid (due to memory errors) and gets written to disk, a future lookup_path can end up with kernel panic due to BUG_ON().

This gets rid of the BUG_ON(), meanwhile output the corrupted key and return ENOENT if it's invalid.
