[ Upstream commit 557c024ca7250bb65ae60f16c02074106c2f197b ]

A fuzzer test introduced corruption that ends up with a depth of 0 in
dir_e_read(), causing an undefined shift by 32 at:

  index = hash >> (32 - dip->i_depth);

As calculated in an open-coded way in dir_make_exhash(), the minimum
depth for an exhash directory is ilog2(sdp->sd_hash_ptrs) and 0 is
invalid as sdp->sd_hash_ptrs is fixed as sdp->bsize / 16 at mount time.

So we can avoid the undefined behaviour by checking for depth values
lower than the minimum in gfs2_dinode_in(). Values greater than the
maximum are already being checked for there.

Also switch the calculation in dir_make_exhash() to use ilog2() to
clarify how the depth is calculated.

Tested with the syzkaller repro.c and xfstests '-g quick'.
