exofs: Allow corrupted directory entry to be empty file
If there was an error in fetching an object or extracting
inode info from attributes. Which means corrupted storage.
Let it be an empty ZERO dated directory entry so it can be
deleted. Otherwise the all directory will be inaccessible.

This does not loose data, because if there is an orphan object
somewhere it will be recovered by fschk. But usually this only
means corrupted dir entry. The object was never generated and
only its link exist. This way we can delete the bad entry.
