[PATCH] export generic_drop_inode() to modules
OCFS2 wants to mark an inode which has been orphaned by another node so that during final iput it takes the correct path through the VFS and can pass through the OCFS2 delete_inode callback. Since i_nlink can get out of date with other nodes, the best way I see to accomplish this is by clearing i_nlink on those inodes at drop_inode time. Other than this small amount of work, nothing different needs to happen, so I think it would be cleanest to be able to just call generic_drop_inode at the end of the OCFS2 drop_inode callback.
