Hi Miklos,

The fuse bug was folded into this report (on the dashboard you can see
examples of reports in fuse).
This is unavoidable for bugs that are left unaddressed for long. They
become piles of assorted stuff.

Now the best course of action is to mark it as fixed. Or we will
exacerbate the problem even more: it will be a bug about sysvfs, this
fuse bug, and the next similar bug in fuse and bugs in other file
systems.

#syz fix: fuse: don't increment nlink in link()
