[PATCH] return ENOENT from ext3_link when racing with unlink
Return -ENOENT from ext[34]_link if we've raced with unlink and i_nlink is 0. Doing otherwise has the potential to corrupt the orphan inode list, because we'd wind up with an inode with a non-zero link count on the list, and it will never get properly cleaned up & removed from the orphan list before it is freed.
