Subject: [PATCH] ext3: fix a bug when we try to open a file with O_TMPFILE flag

From: Zheng Liu <wenqing.lz@...bao.com>

When we try to open a file with O_TMPFILE flag, we will trigger a bug.
The root cause is that in ext4_orphan_add() we check ->i_nlink == 0 and
this check always fails because we set ->i_nlink = 1 in
inode_init_always().  We can use the following program to trigger it:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	int fd;

	fd = open(argv[1], O_TMPFILE, 0666);
	if (fd < 0) {
		perror("open ");
		return -1;
	}
	close(fd);
	return 0;
}

The oops message looks like this:

Here we couldn't call clear_nlink() directly because in d_tmpfile() we
will call inode_dec_link_count() to decrease ->i_nlink.  So this commit
tries to call d_tmpfile() before ext4_orphan_add() to fix this problem.
