    xfs: kill struct xfs_dir2_block · a64b0417

    Remove the confusing xfs_dir2_block structure.  It is supposed to describe
    an XFS dir2 block format btree block, but due to the variable sized nature
    of almost all elements in it it can't actuall do anything close to that
    job.  In addition to accessing the fixed offset header structure it was
    only used to get a pointer to the first dir or unused entry after it,
    which can be trivially replaced by pointer arithmetics on the header
    pointer.  For most users that is actually more natural anyway, as they
    don't use a typed pointer but rather a character pointer for further
    arithmetics.
