9p: don't maintain dir i_nlink if the exported fs doesn't either
If the exported filesystem dir on 9p server doesn't maintain accurate i_nlink count, e.g. always reports i_nlink as 1, then 9p should not maintain nlink count either, otherwise drop_link would report warning with i_nlink being zero. For example: - overlayfs sets nlink to 1 for merged dir - ext4 (with dir_nlink feature enabled) sets nlink to 1 if a dir has more than EXT4_LINK_MAX (65000) links. In this case, everytime a stat(2) call (getattr) on such exported dirs on 9p client side, the i_nlink gets reset to 1, then operations like rmdir(2), unlink(2) and rename(2) would cause the dir nlink to go to zero (then negative), which results in warnings in drop_nlink() and/or inc_nlink() calls. This can be reproduced easily as the following steps: - export a merged overlayfs dir via qemu virtfs to guest - mount the exported virtfs in guest - create two sub-directories in the root dir of the mounted 9pfs - stat the root dir of 9pfs, this resets nlink to 1 - remove all subdirs, the second unlink/rmdir would trigger warning ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 1284 at fs/inode.c:282 drop_nlink+0x3e/0x50 ...

This follows what ext4 does in ext4_dec_count().
