ext4: fix dx_map_entry to support 256k directory blocks
The dx_map_entry structure doesn't support over 64KB block size by
current usage of its member("offs"). Because "offs" treats an offset
of copies of the ext4_dir_entry_2 structure as is. This member size is
16 bits. But real offset for over 64KB(256KB) block size needs 18
bits. However, real offset keeps 4 byte boundary, so lower 2 bits is
not used.

Therefore, we do the following to fix this limitation:
For "store": 
	we divide the real offset by 4 and then store this result to "offs" 
	member.
For "use":
	we multiply "offs" member by 4 and then use this result 
	as real offset.
