8d801e35cb155faa08235a5af8b4d6ad60715837 didn't take into account upwards iteration of entry items when we're working on a corrupted journal file. Instead of moving to the previous entry array, we'd always move to the next array, regardless of the iteration direction. To fix this, we introduce bump_entry_array() that moves to the next or previous entry array depending on the given direction. Since the entry array chains are singly linked lists, we have to start iterating from the front to find the previous array. We only reach this logic if we're working on a corrupted journal file so being slow here shouldn't matter too much.
