Subject: [PATCH 4.9 14/21] ubifs: Fix O_TMPFILE corner case in ubifs_link()

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Richard Weinberger <richard@....at>

commit 32fe905c17f001c0eee13c59afddd0bf2eed509c upstream.

It is perfectly fine to link a tmpfile back using linkat().
Since tmpfiles are created with a link count of 0 they appear
on the orphan list, upon re-linking the inode has to be removed
from the orphan list again.

Ralph faced a filesystem corruption in combination with overlayfs
due to this bug.
