No, I don't think there is such a validation. But given that i8count is
1 and the entry we are removing has a 4-byte inode when we call this,
we can't by definition have two entries pointing to this inode, as then
i8count would be 2.
But I only thought about that now, and is is far to subtle (and I need
to check if the above is true for whiteouts). I'll either clearly
document it, or change it to a name comparison.
