It looks like the concern here is that inode::i_lock is sometimes taken
in IRQ context, and sometimes it is held when going to IRQ context,
though it's a little difficult to tell since I think this is a kernel
from after the actual 6.19 release but before 7.0-rc1.
Either way, we don't need to take i_lock, because filesystems should
not report files to fserror if they're about to be freed or have not
yet been exposed to other threads, because the resulting fsnotify report
will be meaningless.
Therefore, bump inode::i_count directly and clarify the preconditions on
the inode being passed in.
