It's quite easy to trigger on NFS too.

mount server:/path /mnt; exec 3>& /mnt/foo ; rm /mnt/foo; rm /mnt/.nfs* ;
exec 3>&-

Is this suitable for -stable? It seems like it is just a harmless warning.

Subject: NFS: avoid warning from nfs_drop_nlink

If you remove a file which is open, NFS will 'silly-rename' it to a
hidden file.
If you then remove that hidden file, and then close the open file,
then nfs_dentry_iput will perform an extra drop_nlink().
Since 3.3-rc1, this has produced a warning.
The simplest way to suppress it is to use "nfs_drop_nlink" which
checks for i_nlink being zero.
