When deleting a file, we want to make sure that the inode doesn't get
detached from it (leading to ->d_inode being cleared) as we may still want
to touch the inode afterwards (we want to clear the belongs-to-kernel flag
and we may have the dentry referred to by a file struct).

Do this by getting an extra ref on the dentry around the vfs_unlink() call
so that d_delete() doesn't see the refcount == 1.
