fuse_ctl_remove_conn() used to decrement the link count of root manually; that got subsumed by simple_recursive_removal(), but in case when subdirectory creation has failed the latter won't get called. Just move the modification of parent's link count into fuse_ctl_add_dentry() to keep the things simple. Allows to get rid of the nlink argument as well...
