[PATCH] ext3: handle corrupted orphan list at mount

["Duane Griffin" <duaneg@dghda.com>]

If the orphan node list includes valid, untruncatable nodes with nlink > 0
the ext3_orphan_cleanup loop which attempts to delete them will not do so,
causing it to loop forever. Fix by checking for such nodes in the
ext3_orphan_get function.

This patch fixes the second case (image hdb.20000009.softlockup.gz)
reported in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10882.

Note that we can still end up in an infinite loop if the ext3_truncate
errors out early (and keeps doing so). I'm not sure if we should worry
about that. If we did want to handle it then we could change ext3_truncate
to return success/failure and exit the ext3_orphan_cleanup.
