Not that I know anything about ubifs, but why do you need the deleted
inode record in the first place for an O_TMPFILE.
vfs ensures you that you can only link back an O_TMPFILE, not a deleted
inode.

It does not appear to be the right thing to do to pass deletion=1 to
ubifs_jnl_update(), but deletion=0 doesn't look right as well..
