adfs: fix E+/F+ dir size > 2048 crashing kernel

Kernel crashes in fs/adfs module when accessing directories with a large
number of objects on mounted Acorn ADFS E+/F+ format discs (or images) as
the existing code writes off the end of the fixed array of struct
buffer_head pointers.

Additionally, each directory access that didn't crash would leak a buffer
as nr_buffers was not adjusted correctly for E+/F+ discs (was always left
as one less than required).

The patch fixes this by allocating a dynamically-sized set of struct
buffer_head pointers if necessary for the E+/F+ case (many directories
still do in fact fit in 2048 bytes) and sets the correct nr_buffers so
that all buffers are released.

Tested by tar'ing the contents of my RISC PC's E+ format 20Gb HDD which
contains a number of large directories that previously crashed the kernel.
