Actually, I think this is wrong because the fsync can be done via a file
descriptor that was opened to a now-deleted link to the file.

We need to find the dentry whose parent directory is still exists, i.e. the
parent directory that is counting towards 'inode->i_nlink == 1'.

I think d_find_alias() is what we're looking for.
