The node directory lookup code uses a state structure that tracks the
path of buffers used to search for the hash of a filename through the
leaf blocks. When the lookup encounters a block that ends with the
requested hash, but the entry has not yet been found, it must shift over
to the next block and continue looking for the entry (i.e., duplicate
hashes could continue over into the next block). This shift mechanism
involves walking back up and down the state structure, replacing buffers
at the appropriate btree levels as necessary.

When a buffer is replaced, the old buffer is released and the new buffer
read into the active slot in the path structure. Because the buffer is
read directly into the path slot, a buffer read failure can result in
setting a NULL buffer pointer in an active slot. This throws off the
state cleanup code in xfs_dir2_node_lookup(), which expects to release a
buffer from each active slot. Instead, a BUG occurs due to a NULL
pointer dereference:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000000001e8

   ...

This has been reproduced via a parallel fsstress and filesystem shutdown
workload in a loop. The shutdown triggers the read error in the
aforementioned codepath and causes the BUG in xfs_dir2_node_lookup().

Update xfs_da3_path_shift() to update the active path slot atomically
with respect to the caller when a buffer is replaced. This ensures that
the caller always sees the old or new buffer in the slot and prevents
the NULL pointer dereference.
