1f572d1f88 libext2fs: display partial path if fs corrupted in ext2fs_get_pathname()
The function ext2fs_get_pathname() used to return EXT2_ET_NO_DIRECTORY
if one of the directories in an inode's pathname is not a directory.
This is not very useful in an emergency, when the file system is
corrupted.  This commit will cause ext2fs_get_pathname() to return a
partial pathname, which should help system administrators trying to
use debugfs to investigate a corrupted file system.

56c8c592ac Fix e2fsck to set the filetype of '..' when connecting a dir, to lost+found
If there is an orphaned inode whose '..' entry is pointing at a special
file, the filetype of the '..' entry will set to the type of the special
file.  When the orphaned directory is reconnected to /lost+found, the
filetype of the '..' field is not reset to EXT2_FT_DIR, so a second
e2fsck is required to repair the filesystem.

We address this situation by setting the filetype of '..' when we
reconnect the inode to /lost+found.
