This issue was introduced with LTP inotify02 test. If file system is not NFS user inotify application gets IN_DELETE event. But on NFS code avoids d_delete() which sends this event. This patch makes notification on NFS the same as non-NFS. I.e. vfs_unlink still avoids deletion but it sends event for NFS sillyrenamed files.
