Reproducer:
1. server: systemctl start ksmbd
2. client: mount with `posix` option
mount -t cifs -o posix //${server_ip}/export /mnt
3. client: touch /mnt/file1 /mnt/file2
4. client: C program: int fd = open("/mnt/file2", O_RDONLY);
5. client: C program: rename("/mnt/file1", "/mnt/file2");
6. client: C program: struct stat stbuf; fstat(fd, &stbuf);
stbuf.st_nlink is 1, should be 0
This patch fixes xfstests generic/035 when mounted with `posix` option.
