[PATCH] NFS/INOTIFY: inotify user when deleting files on nfs

[Maxim Uvarov]

This issue was introduced with LTP inotify02 test.
If file system is not NFS user inotify application
gets IN_DELETE event. But on NFS code avoids d_delete()
which sends this event. This patch makes notification
on NFS the same as non-NFS. I.e. vfs_unlink still avoids
deletion but it sends event for NFS sillyrenamed files.
