staging/lustre: avoid clearing i_nlink for inodes in use
The patch removes find_cbdata callbacks and clear_nlink
from dentry_iput path, since this piece of code makes
a few races possible.
The test case reproduces one of the possible races
described in LU-7925:
1) two hard links are created for the same file
2) the test calls stat(2) for link #1
3) in the middle of 2) the test opens and closes link #2
4) in the middle of 2) the test drops the ldlm locks and
forces dentry reclaim via vm.drop_caches=2
5) in the middle of 2) ll_d_iput() clears i_nlink for
the inode
6) the initial stat(2) continues and copies the wrong
i_nlink value into st_nlink
