ovl: fix WARN_ON nlink drop to zero
Changes to underlying layers should not cause WARN_ON(), but this repro does: mkdir w l u mnt sudo mount -t overlay -o workdir=w,lowerdir=l,upperdir=u overlay mnt touch mnt/h ln u/h u/k rm -rf mnt/k rm -rf mnt/h dmesg ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 116244 at fs/inode.c:302 drop_nlink+0x28/0x40 After upper hardlinks were added while overlay is mounted, unlinking all overlay hardlinks drops overlay nlink to zero before all upper inodes are unlinked. After unlink/rename prevent i_nlink from going to zero if there are still hashed aliases (i.e. cached hard links to the victim) remaining.
