V3 minixfs: add missing directory type checking
There are a few places in the Minix FS code where the "inode" field of a
minix_dir_entry is used without checking first to see if the dirent is
really a minix3_dir_entry. The inode number in a V1/V2 dirent is 16 bits,
whereas that in a V3 dirent is 32 bits.
Accessing it as a 16 bit field when it really should be accessed as a 32
bit field probably kinda sorta works on a little-endian machine, but leads
to some rather odd behaviour on big-endian machines.
