This one may be needed too. Perhaps it's unnecessary for the MS_ACTIVE
case (I would assume in that case by design nobody can find the inode
while MS_ACTIVE is not set), but the unhashed case sounds more
interesting. At the moment I'm unsure who is using the unhashed
last-iput feature to get rid of the inode but the below looks needed at
the light of that feature.
