Btrfs: ensure tmpfile inode is always persisted with link count of 0

If we open a file with O_TMPFILE, don't do any further operation on
it (so that the inode item isn't updated) and then force a transaction
commit, we get a persisted inode item with a link count of 1, and not 0
as it should be.

Steps to reproduce it (requires a modern xfs_io with -T support):

    $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdd
    $ mount -o /dev/sdd /mnt
    $ xfs_io -T /mnt &
    $ sync

Then btrfs-debug-tree shows the inode item with a link count of 1:

    $ btrfs-debug-tree /dev/sdd
    (...)
    fs tree key (FS_TREE ROOT_ITEM 0)
    leaf 29556736 items 4 free space 15851 generation 6 owner 5
    fs uuid f164d01b-1b92-481d-a4e4-435fb0f843d0
    chunk uuid 0e3d0e56-bcca-4a1c-aa5f-cec2c6f4f7a6

    	item 1 key (256 INODE_REF 256) itemoff 16111 itemsize 12
    		inode ref index 0 namelen 2 name: ..
    	item 2 key (257 INODE_ITEM 0) itemoff 15951 itemsize 160
    		inode generation 6 transid 6 size 0 block group 0 mode 100600 links 1
    	item 3 key (ORPHAN ORPHAN_ITEM 257) itemoff 15951 itemsize 0
		orphan item
    checksum tree key (CSUM_TREE ROOT_ITEM 0)
    (...)
