With ext4 we fail directory creation if we fail to allocate initial
block for the directory. With EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_DIR_NLINK,
if we fail to create the directory, the inode link count was wrongly
set to 1. This cause e2fsck throws the below warning
Inode 1015 is a zero-length directory. Clear? yes
Inode 1120 is a zero-length directory. Clear? yes
Inode 1121 is a zero-length directory. Clear? yes
Fix the same by dropping the inode link count using drop_nlink
