[PATCH] r/o bind mounts: clean up OCFS2 nlink handling
OCFS2 does some operations on i_nlink, then reverts them if some of its
operations fail to complete. This does not fit in well with the
drop_nlink() logic where we expect i_nlink to stay at zero once it gets
there.
So, delay all of the nlink operations until we're sure that the operations
have completed. Also, introduce a small helper to check whether an inode
has proper "unlinkable" i_nlink counts no matter whether it is a directory
or regular inode.
This patch is broken out from the others because it does contain some
logical changes.
