Description of problem:

The dht rename codepath has a severe leak if it needs to create a linkto file. 
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Consistently

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a 2x3 distribute replicate volume and fuse mount it.
2. Create 2 directories, dir1 and dir1-new in the root of the volume
3. Find 2 filenames which will hash to different subvols when created in these directories. For example, in my setup dir1/file-1 and dir1-new/newfile-1 hash to different subvols. This is necessary as the leak is in the path which creates a linkto file.
4. Run the following script and watch the memory usage for the mount process using top.



Actual results:
Memory rises steadily. Statedumps show that the number of active inodes keeps increasing.

Expected results:
Memory should not increase as there is a single file on the volume.

Forgot to mention the script in the description:

while (true); do for in in {1..20000}; do touch /mnt/fuse1/dir1/file-1; mv -f /mnt/fuse1/dir1/file-1 /mnt/fuse1/dir1-new/newfile-1; done ;rm -rf /mnt/fuse1/dir1-new/*; done
