+ *
+ * If we've received a callback on an iopen lock then its because a
+ * remote node tried to deallocate the inode but failed due to this node
+ * still having the inode open. Here we mark the link count zero
+ * since we know that it must have reached zero if the GLF_DEMOTE flag
+ * is set on the iopen glock. If we didn't do a disk read since the
+ * remote node removed the final link then we might otherwise miss
+ * this event. This check ensures that this node will deallocate the
+ * inode's blocks, or alternatively pass the baton on to another
+ * node for later deallocation.
