While running xfs/168, I noticed a second source of post-shrink
corruption errors causing shutdowns.

Let's say that directory B has a low inode number and is a child of
directory A, which has a high number. If B is empty but open, and
unlinked from A, B's dotdot link continues to point to A. If A is then
unlinked and the filesystem shrunk so that A is no longer a valid inode,
a subsequent AIL push of B will trip the inode verifiers because the
dotdot entry points outside of the filesystem.

To avoid this problem, reset B's dotdot entry to the root directory when
unlinking directories, since the root directory cannot be removed.
