[PATCH 2/6] xfs: don't stash removename operations with unknown ftype

"Darrick J. Wong" <[email protected]>
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.stable,org.kernel.vger.linux-xfs
Message-ID <178760940721.944084.7350116310283813250.stgit@frogsfrogsfrogs>
From: Darrick J. Wong <[email protected]>

LOLLM notices that the behavior of xrep_dir_replay_update changes based
on the ftype recorded in the stashed removename information.  It also
notices that the unlink iops sometimes set that ftype to FT_UNKNOWN
because the regular directory tree update code paths don't need to know
the ftype of the child.

Unfortunately, this results in incorrect link counts, which eventually
trips link count errors in later phases of xfs_scrub, or in xfs_repair.
Fix this.
