Implementation of multiple incremental snapshots.
Snapshot inodes are chained on a list starting at the super block,
both on-disk and in-memory, similar to the orphan inodes.
Unlink and truncate of snapshot inodes on the list is not allowed,
so an inode can never be chained on both orphan and snapshot lists.
We make use of this fact to overload the in-memory inode field
ext4_inode_info.i_orphan for the chaining of snapshots.
