The create Inode Operation

Creating a normal file is done using the "create" inode-operation, and in STAMFS, with stamfs_iop_create():

• Create a new inode for the file (using the previously encountered stamfs_inode_create_ino() function).
• Add it to children list the given directory, and instantiate the file's dentry.
• If the above failed, reduce the new inode's link count and iput() it - seeing that it has 0 links, the VFS will delete it (will invoke the super-block's "delete_inode" operation).
