H A Dnamei.caae8a97d Sat Jan 29 07:13:27 CST 2011 Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> fs: Don't allow to create hardlink for deleted file

Add inode->i_nlink == 0 check in VFS. Some of the file systems
do this internally. A followup patch will remove those instance.
This is needed to ensure that with link by handle we don't allow
to create hardlink of an unlinked file. The check also prevent a race
between unlink and link
