This should be moved up to the first if-block that is checking the block size: 

        if (le16_to_cpu(dirent->rec_len) == EXT4_BLOCK_SIZE(inode->i_sb) ||
             (le16_to_cpu(dirent->rec_len) == 65535 &&
              EXT4_BLOCK_SIZE(inode->i_sb) >= 65536))
                count_offset = 8;

since this is really the same case. 

Ecen better would be to use ext4_rec_len_from_disk() to check the
length so that it keeps this large PAGE_SIZE logic in one place, and
does not add overhead on systems with smaller PAGE_SIZE:

        int blocksize = EXT4_BLOCK_SIZE(inode->i_sb);

        if (ext4_rec_len_from_disk(dirent->rec_len, blocksize) == blocksize)
                count_offset = 8;
