[PATCH] xfs: introduce protection for drop nlink

From: cheng.lin130
Date: Thu Aug 24 2023 - 03:45:09 EST


From: Cheng Lin <cheng.lin130@xxxxxxxxxx>
An dir nlinks overflow which down form 0 to 0xffffffff, cause the
directory to become unusable until the next xfs_repair run.

Introduce protection for drop nlink to reduce the impact of this.
And produce a warning for directory nlink error during remove.
