We inject IO error when rmdir non empty direcory, then got issue as follows:
step1: mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/sda
step2: mount /dev/sda  test
step3: cd test
step4: mkdir -p 1/2
step5: rmdir 1
	[  110.920551] ext4_empty_dir: inject fault
	[  110.921926] EXT4-fs warning (device sda): ext4_rmdir:3113: inode #12:
	comm rmdir: empty directory '1' has too many links (3)
step6: cd ..
step7: umount test
step8: fsck.ext4 -f /dev/sda
	e2fsck 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013)
	Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
	Pass 2: Checking directory structure
	Entry '..' in .../??? (13) has deleted/unused inode 12.  Clear<y>? yes
	Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity
	Unconnected directory inode 13 (...)
	Connect to /lost+found<y>? yes
	Pass 4: Checking reference counts
	Inode 13 ref count is 3, should be 2.  Fix<y>? yes
	Pass 5: Checking group summary information

	/dev/sda: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
	/dev/sda: 12/131072 files (0.0% non-contiguous), 26157/524288 blocks

ext4_rmdir
	if (!ext4_empty_dir(inode))
		goto end_rmdir;
ext4_empty_dir
	bh = ext4_read_dirblock(inode, 0, DIRENT_HTREE);
	if (IS_ERR(bh))
		return true;
Now if read directory block failed, 'ext4_empty_dir' will return true, assume
directory is empty. Obviously, it will lead to above issue.
To solve this issue, if read directory block failed 'ext4_empty_dir' just assume
directory isn't empty. To avoid making things worse when file system is already
corrupted, 'ext4_empty_dir' also assume directory isn't empty.
To distinguish the error type, return the exact error code to the caller.

Does the same issue exist for f2fs and ubifs?  We could solve the
specific bug much more simply by having ext4_empty_dir() return FALSE
if we aren't able to read the directory block.  Yes, it means that we
don't return as specific an error code in the case of an I/O error ---
although I believe we do syslog a warning --- but it makes for a much
simpler patch that doesn't requiring getting acked-by's from the
fscrypt, f2fs and ubifs folks.

In fact,  I only modified ext4 as you suggested in my v1 patch.
