[PATCH 3/3] have pipefs ensure i_ino uniqueness by calling iunique and hashing the inode

[Jeff Layton]

This converts pipefs to use the new scheme. Here we're calling iunique to get
a unique i_ino value for the new inode, and then hashing it afterward. We
call iunique with a max_reserved value of 1 to avoid collision with the root
inode.  Since the inode is now hashed, we need to take care that we end up in
generic_delete_inode rather than generic_forget_inode or we'll create a nasty
leak, so we clear_nlink when we destroy the pipe info.

I'm not certain that this is the right place to add the clear_nlink, though
it does seem to work. I'm open to suggestions on a better place to put
this, or of a better way to make sure that we end up with i_nlink == 0 at
iput time.
