[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  Since i_nlink can get out of
date with other nodes, the best way I see to accomplish this is by clearing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.
