CIFS servers process nlink counts differently for files and directories. In cifs_rename() if we the request fails on the existing target, we try to remove it through cifs_unlink() but this is not what we want to do for directories. As the result the following sequence of commands mkdir {1,2}; mv -T 1 2; rmdir {1,2}; mkdir {1,2}; echo foo > 2/bar and XFS test generic/023 fail with -ENOENT error. That's why the second mkdir reuses the existing inode (target inode of the mv -T command) with S_DEAD flag. Fix this by checking whether the target is directory or not and calling cifs_rmdir() rather than cifs_unlink() for directories.
