- ext3_dx_find_entry() exit with out setting proper error pointer

- do_split() exit with out setting proper error pointer
  it is realy painful because many callers contain folowing code:

          de = do_split(handle,dir, &bh, frame, &hinfo, &retval);
          if (!(de))
                       return retval;
          <<< WOW retval wasn't changed by do_split(), so caller failed
          <<< but return SUCCESS :)

- Rearrange do_split() error path. Current error path is realy ugly, all
  this up and down jump stuff doesn't make code easy to understand.
