generic: test a directory fsync scenaro after replacing a subdir with a file

Test a scenario where we remove a directory previously persisted, create
a file with the same name and parent directory, create two directories in
the same parent directory, create a hard link for the new file in one of
the new directories, fsync the directory with the hard link and fsync the
parent directory. After a power failure we expect both directories to be
persisted as well as the new file and its hard link.

This exercises a bug on btrfs fixed by the following kernel patch:

  "btrfs: log new dentries when logging parent dir of a conflicting inode"
