ext4: reset error code in ext4_find_entry in fallback

commit f39b3f45dbcb0343822cce31ea7636ad66e60bc2 upstream.

When ext4_find_entry() falls back to "searching the old fashioned
way" due to a corrupt dx dir, it needs to reset the error code
to NULL so that the nonstandard ERR_BAD_DX_DIR code isn't returned
to userspace.
