Looking at the ubifs code, it does not appear that ubifs_link() ever calls
ubifs_delete_orphan() for the case of linking a temp file (nlink == 0),
so this looks like a ubifs bug.

Is ubifs being tested with xfstests? This should have been caught by test
generic/004 (link tempfile then delete it).

A quick fix for ubifs+overlayfs would be to disable ubifs O_TMPFILE
support (because it is broken) and then overlayfs won't try to copy up
using tmpfile.
