Subject: ocfs2: clear dinode links count in case of error

In ocfs2_mknod(), if error occurs after dinode successfully allocated,
ocfs2 i_links_count will not be 0.

So even though we clear inode i_nlink before iput in error handling, it
still won't wipe inode since we'll refresh inode from dinode during inode
lock.  So just like clear inode i_nlink, we clear ocfs2 i_links_count as
well.  Also do the same change for ocfs2_symlink().
