Ryusuke Konishi 705304a863 nilfs2: fix the nilfs_iget() vs. nilfs_new_inode() races
Same story as in commit 41080b5a24 ("nfsd race fixes: ext2") (similar
ext2 fix) except that nilfs2 needs to use insert_inode_locked4() instead
of insert_inode_locked() and a bug of a check for dead inodes needs to
be fixed.

If nilfs_iget() is called from nfsd after nilfs_new_inode() calls
insert_inode_locked4(), nilfs_iget() will wait for unlock_new_inode() at
the end of nilfs_mkdir()/nilfs_create()/etc to unlock the inode.

If nilfs_iget() is called before nilfs_new_inode() calls
insert_inode_locked4(), it will create an in-core inode and read its
data from the on-disk inode.  But, nilfs_iget() will find i_nlink equals
zero and fail at nilfs_read_inode_common(), which will lead it to call
iget_failed() and cleanly fail.

However, this sanity check doesn't work as expected for reused on-disk
inodes because they leave a non-zero value in i_mode field and it
hinders the test of i_nlink.  This patch also fixes the issue by
removing the test on i_mode that nilfs2 doesn't need.
