Squashfs: handle corruption of directory structure

Handle the rare case where a directory metadata block is uncompressed and
corrupted, leading to a kernel oops in directory scanning (memcpy).
Normally corruption is detected at the decompression stage and dealt with
then, however, this will not happen if:

- metadata isn't compressed (users can optionally request no metadata
  compression), or
- the compressed metadata block was larger than the original, in which
  case the uncompressed version was used, or
- the data was corrupt after decompression

This patch fixes this by adding some sanity checks against known maximum
values.
