Problem when creating file in directory being deleted

[Simon Munton]

Hi,

I've come across a problem when creating a file in a directory, when that
directory is being deleted by another process. The file gets created, but is
then orphaned; when remounting the filesystem later, the mount fails,
complaining that it found an inode with no parent and pino set to some
value.

Initially a directory "dir1" exists, and contains a file "file2"
The first process running does a 'rm -rf dir1'
The second process does '(echo hi; rm -f dir1/file1) >> dir1/file1'

Below are the debug messages showing the deletion of file2 and dir1 and the
creation of file1.

No other nodes are written for file1 (ino: 17), and the in memory nodes for
dir1 are not freed until the filesystem is unmounted.
