If a file's DIR_ITEM key is invalid (due to memory errors) and gets
written to disk, a future lookup_path can end up with kernel panic due
to BUG_ON().

This gets rid of the BUG_ON(), meanwhile output the corrupted key and
return ENOENT if it's invalid.

The diff doesn't show the logic well, 'goto out_err' will return with
assigning 0 to location->objectid, and the caller already has a check
for (location->objectid == 0) to return -ENOENT.

If this situation happens it's possible that ret is still 0 so the error
handling in btrfs_lookup_dentry might not trigger. How about just
setting -EUCLEAN if we execute the if branch?
Thanks for the comment.  So it's not going to trigger the (ret < 0)
check, instead it tries to trigger the one following (ret < 0):

        if (location.objectid == 0)
                return ERR_PTR(-ENOENT);

which is consistent to the case when we didn't find the btrfs_dir_item
(di is NULL, returned by btrfs_lookup_dir_item()).

thanks,
