We need to inc the nlink of deleted entries when running replay so we can do the unlink on the fs_root and get everything cleaned up and then have the orphan cleanup do the right thing. The problem is inc_nlink complains about this, even thought it still does the right thing. So use set_nlink() if our i_nlink is 0 to keep users from seeing the warnings during log replay.
