    xfs: fix dir3 freespace block corruption · 5ae6e6a4

    When the directory freespace index grows to a second block (2017
    4k data blocks in the directory), the initialisation of the second
    new block header goes wrong. The write verifier fires a corruption
    error indicating that the block number in the header is zero. This
    was being tripped by xfs/110.
    
    The problem is that the initialisation of the new block is done just
    fine in xfs_dir3_free_get_buf(), but the caller then users a dirv2
    structure to zero on-disk header fields that xfs_dir3_free_get_buf()
    has already zeroed. These lined up with the block number in the dir
    v3 header format.
    
    While looking at this, I noticed that the struct xfs_dir3_free_hdr()
    had 4 bytes of padding in it that wasn't defined as padding or being
    zeroed by the initialisation. Add a pad field declaration and fully
    zero the on disk and in-core headers in xfs_dir3_free_get_buf() so
    that this is never an issue in the future. Note that this doesn't
    change the on-disk layout, just makes the 32 bits of padding in the
    layout explicit.
