[ECOS] Inode reference counting wrong for jffs2

[Thomas Koeller]

I found a bug fs-ecos.c. When creating a link, the
code performed a check to ensure that the destination
did not already exist. If no destination inode
existed (the normal case), the code would nonetheless
attempt to decrement its reference count. This would
result in the reference count of the containing
directory's inode instead.

The patch below fixes this.
