[POWERPC] spufs: Fix error handling in spufs_fill_dir()
The error path in spufs_fill_dir() is broken. If d_alloc_name() or spufs_new_file() fails, spufs_prune_dir() is getting called. At this time dir->inode is not set and a NULL pointer is dereferenced by mutex_lock(). This bugfix replaces spufs_prune_dir() with a shorter version that does not touch dir->inode but simply removes all children.
