We don't need to keep incomplete created inode in cache, so if we fail to
add link into directory during new inode creation, it's better to set
nlink of inode to zero, then we can evict inode immediately. Otherwise
release of nid belong to inode will be delayed until inode cache is being
shrunk, it may cause a seemingly endless loop while allocating free nids
in time of testing generic/269 case of fstest suit.
