Same story as in commit 41080b5a2401 ("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.
