kernel: fix ubifs loosing O_TMPFILE data after power cut
There was a bug in ubifs related to the O_TMPFILE. When reapplying changes after power cut data could be lost. This problem was exposed by overlayfs and the upstream commit 3a1e819b4e80 ("ovl: store file handle of lower inode on copy up"). This fixes a regression introduced when switching from 4.9 to 4.14.

+Subject: [PATCH] ubifs: Handle re-linking of inodes correctly while recovery
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+UBIFS's recovery code strictly assumes that a deleted inode will never
+come back, therefore it removes all data which belongs to that inode
+as soon it faces an inode with link count 0 in the replay list.
+Before O_TMPFILE this assumption was perfectly fine. With O_TMPFILE
+it can lead to data loss upon a power-cut.
+
+Consider a journal with entries like:
+0: inode X (nlink = 0) /* O_TMPFILE was created */
+1: data for inode X /* Someone writes to the temp file */
+2: inode X (nlink = 0) /* inode was changed, xattr, chmod, … */
+3: inode X (nlink = 1) /* inode was re-linked via linkat() */
+
+Upon replay of entry #2 UBIFS will drop all data that belongs to inode X,
+this will lead to an empty file after mounting.
+
+As solution for this problem, scan the replay list for a re-link entry
+before dropping data.
+
