ext4: Scan all directory blocks for space when inserting a new entry

Previously, only the last directory block was scanned for available space.
Instead, scan all blocks back to front, and if no sufficient space is
found, eventually append a new block.
Blocks are only appended if the directory does not use extents or the new
block would require insertion of indirect blocks, as the old code does.
