+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1240916 +++

Description of problem:
int
glfs_loc_link (loc_t *loc, struct iatt *iatt)
{
        int ret = -1;
        inode_t *linked_inode = NULL;

        if (!loc->inode) {
                errno = EINVAL;
                return -1;
        }

        linked_inode = inode_link (loc->inode, loc->parent, loc->name, iatt);
        if (linked_inode) {
                inode_lookup (linked_inode);
                inode_unref (linked_inode);
                ret = 0;
        } else {
                ret = -1;
                errno = ENOMEM;
        }

        return ret;
}

Here in case if the inode already exits in the cache, inode_link returns the pointer to the exiting one instead of using loc->inode. This results in the loc->inode not being updated which may result in the issues reported in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1235121#c10

    gfapi: Update loc->inode accordingly in 'glfs_loc_link'
    
    In case if the inode already exits in the cache, inode_link
    returns the pointer to the exiting one instead of using loc->inode.
    This will result in issues if that invalid inodei(loc->inode) is referenced
    further. Fixed the same.
