Miklos Szeredi 83552eacdf 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.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
