[RFC PATCH 1/3] debugfs: fix automount inode i_nlink references

[Roman Pen]

Directory inodes should start off with i_nlink == 2 (for "." entry).
Of course the same rule should be applied to automount dentries for
child and parent inodes as well.

Also now automount dentry does fsnotify_mkdir.

Without this patch kernel complains when sees i_nlink == 0:
