[f2fs-dev] [PATCH] f2fs: don't leave the hashed inode while it's unlinked

f2fs_symlink()
1. f2fs_new_inode
2. f2fs_add_link
3. page_symlink
4. flush dirty pages and or checkpoint

Step 4 is nice to succeed, which doesn't become a reason to roll back
the created symlink. OTOH, if we get an error till step 3, let's roll
back and remove the cached inode.
