Fix a drop_nlink warning in minix_rename

Syzbot found a drop_nlink warning that is triggered by an easy to
detect nlink corruption. This patch adds sanity checks to minix_unlink
and minix_rename to prevent the warning and instead return EFSCORRUPTED
to the caller.

The changes were tested using the syzbot reproducer as well as local
testing.
