[PATCH 1/1] ext4: detect directories in ext4fs_exists()

While fat_exists() reports directories and files as existing ext4fs_exists() only recognizes files. This lead to errors when using systemd-boot with an ext4 file-system.
Change ext4fs_exists() to find any type of inode: files, directories, symbolic links.

This doesn't entirely fix systemd-boot, the fs_get_size() call still winds up in ext4fs_open() which fails because it's a directory...
I poked around to see if I could get this working but it seems like it won't be simple :/
This is still a valid bugfix though, even if it doesn't totally fix the issue.

I still need to figure out a good test. Currently 'xxd' is the only command invoking fs_exists().
