Split nilfs_unlink() to reduce nested transaction and duplicate
mark_inode_dirty() calls when calling nilfs_unlink() from nilfs_rmdir().
nilfs_do_unlink() is an actual unlink functionality which is not
in transaction and does not call mark_inode_dirty() for dentry argument.
nilfs_unlink() is a wrapper function for do_nilfs_unlink() with
transaction and mark_inode_dirty() for dentry argument.

This is an intermidiate patch to reduce redandunt mark_inode_dirty() calls
by calling inode_inc_link_count() and inode_dec_link_count() functions.

It is redundant to call mark_inode_dirty() in nilfs_new_inode() because
all caller of nilfs_new_inode() will call mark_inode_dirty()
after calling nilfs_new_inode() directly or indirectly in transaction.

Pekka Enberg pointed out that double error handlings found after
nilfs_transaction_end() can be avoided by separating abort operation:
OK, I don't understand this. The only way nilfs_transaction_end() can
fail is if we have NILFS_TI_SYNC set and we fail to construct the
segment. But why do we want to construct a segment if we don't commit?
I guess what I'm asking is why don't we have a separate
nilfs_transaction_abort() function that can't fail for the erroneous
case to avoid this double error value tracking thing?
This does the separation and renames nilfs_transaction_end() to
nilfs_transaction_commit() for clarification.
Since, some calls of these functions were used just for exclusion control
against the segment constructor, they are replaced with semaphore
operations.

This adds pathname operations, most of which comes from the ext2 file
system.
