Now that VFS check for inode->i_nlink == 0 and returns proper
error, remove similar check from file system

* Indeed, consider a scenario when 'vfs_link(dirA/fileA)' and
* 'vfs_unlink(dirA/fileA, dirB/fileB)' race. 'vfs_link()' does not
* lock 'dirA->i_mutex', so this is possible. Both of the functions
* lock 'fileA->i_mutex' though. Suppose 'vfs_unlink()' wins, and takes
* 'fileA->i_mutex' mutex first. Suppose 'fileA->i_nlink' is 1. In this
* case 'ubifs_unlink()' will drop the last reference, and put 'inodeA'
* to the list of orphans. After this, 'vfs_link()' will link
* 'dirB/fileB' to 'inodeA'. This is a problem because, for example,
* the subsequent 'vfs_unlink(dirB/fileB)' will add the same inode
* to the list of orphans.
