inode: include dentry cycle checks for all existing inodes
inode_link() has the responsibility of maintaining the DAGness of the dentry tree, and prevent cyclic loops from forming. To do this the technique used is to perform cyclic check only while linking inodes which already were linked in the inode table (i.e linking a new_inode() can never form a loop). While this was how it was supposed to be all along, the @old_inode variable was missed out to get updated if the given inode to inode_link itself was already linked (i.e, the code was only handling a complex case when the given new inode had a gfid which already existed) Without this patch, it is possible to call inode_link in a specific way which results in dentry loops.
