We're going to spew messages in ext3/4 for orphan inodes as well
(thanks for Cristoph for pointing that out).  I can put in a similar
kludge, but maybe there should be a _set_nlink() that skips the check?
We do our own more sophisticated check in and will do appropriate
error handling in ext4_iget() anyway, so it's just a waste in that
particular codepath anyway.
