exofs: Remove inode->i_count manipulation in exofs_new_inode
exofs_new_inode() was incrementing the inode->i_count and decrementing it in create_done(), in a bad attempt to make sure the inode will still be there when the asynchronous create_done() finally arrives. This was very stupid because iput() was not called, and if it was actually needed, it would leak the inode. However all this is not needed, because at exofs_evict_inode() we already wait for create_done() by waiting for the object_created event. Therefore remove the superfluous ref counting and just Thicken the comment at exofs_evict_inode() a bit. While at it change places that open coded wait_obj_created() to call the already available wrapper.
