Eeek... I'd rather not play these games with directories and devices nodes
as well. Rationale for the original patch simply doesn't apply for those.

IOW, I think it would be much saner if we did the following: make ..._test()
refuse to merge inodes with ->i_ino == 1, take inode setup back to
get_cramfs_inode() and make ->drop_inode() evict ones with ->i_ino == 1
immediately. Comments?

Patch below is completely untested; it builds, but that's it.
