We should have stopped returning 1 from read_dnode() to indicate
failure. We can just mark the damn thing obsolete immediately. But I
missed a case where we don't.

We should keep the mdata node with higher version number, not just the
one we happen to find latest. Doh.

An xattr_datum which ends up orphaned should be freed by the GC 
thread. But if we umount before the GC thread is finished, or if we 
mount read-only and the GC thread never runs, they might never be 
freed. Clean them up during unmount, if there are any left.

When we cannot mark nodes as obsolete, such as on NAND flash, we end up 
having to delete inodes with !nlink in jffs2_build_remove_unlinked_inode().
However, jffs2_build_xattr_subsystem() runs later than this, and will
attach an xref to the dead inode. Then later when the last nodes of that
dead inode are erased we hit a BUG() in jffs2_del_ino_cache() 
because we're not supposed to get there with an xattr still attached to 
the inode which is being killed.

The simple fix is to refrain from attaching xattrs to inodes with zero 
nlink, in jffs2_build_xattr_subsystem(). It's it's OK to trust nlink 
here because the file system isn't actually mounted yet, so there's no 
chance that a zero-nlink file could actually be alive still because 
it's open.
