CVE-2024-57940

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

exfat: fix the infinite loop in exfat_readdir()

If the file system is corrupted so that a cluster is linked to
itself in the cluster chain, and there is an unused directory
entry in the cluster, 'dentry' will not be incremented, causing
condition 'dentry < max_dentries' unable to prevent an infinite
loop.

This infinite loop causes s_lock not to be released, and other
tasks will hang, such as exfat_sync_fs().

This commit stops traversing the cluster chain when there is unused
directory entry in the cluster to avoid this infinite loop.
