Ian Dowse 2ed42812bd When compacting directories, ufs_direnter() always trusted DIRSIZ()
to supply the number of bytes to be bcopy()'d to move an entry. If
d_ino == 0 however, DIRSIZ() is not guaranteed to return a sensible
length, so ufs_direnter could end up corrupting a directory during
compaction. In practice I believe this can only happen after fsck_ffs
has fixed a previously-corrupted directory.

We now deal with any mid-block unused entries specially to avoid
using DIRSIZ() or bcopy() on such entries. We also ensure that the
variables 'dsize' and 'spacefree' contain meaningful values at all
times. Add a few comments to describe better this intricate piece
of code.

The special handling of mid-block unused entries makes the dirhash-
specific bugfix in the previous revision (1.53) now uncecessary,
so this change removes it.
