Disk inode deletion may be heavily delayed when one node unlink a file
after the same dentry is freed on another node(say N1) because of memory
shrink but inode is left in memory.  This inode can only be freed while
N1 doing the orphan scan work.

However, N1 may skip orphan scan for several times because other nodes
may do the work earlier.  In our tests, it may take 1 hour on 4 nodes
cluster and it hurts the user experience.  So we think the inode should
be freed after the data flushed to disk when i_count becomes zero to
avoid such circumstances.
