All non-special files (For shiftfs this only includes fifos and - for
this case - unix sockets - since we don't allow character and block
devices to be created.) go through shiftfs_open() and have their dentry
pinned through this codepath preventing it from going negative. But
fifos don't use the shiftfs fops but rather use the pipefifo_fops which
means they do not go through shiftfs_open() and thus don't have their
dentry pinned that way. Thus, the lower dentries for such files can go
negative on unlink causing segfaults. The following C program can be
used to reproduce the crash:

 #include <stdio.h>
 #include <fcntl.h>
 #include <unistd.h>
 #include <sys/types.h>
 #include <sys/stat.h>
 #include <unistd.h>
 #include <stdlib.h>

 int main(int argc, char *argv[])
 {
        struct stat stat;

        unlink("./bbb");

        int ret = mknod("./bbb", S_IFIFO|0666, 0);
        if (ret < 0)
                exit(1);

        int fd = open("./bbb", O_RDWR);
        if (fd < 0)
                exit(2);

        if (unlink("./bbb"))
                exit(4);

        fstat(fd, &stat);

        return 0;
 }

Similar to ecryptfs we need to dget() the lower dentry before calling
vfs_unlink() on it and dput() it afterwards.
