Fix a drop_nlink warning in minix_rmdir
Syzbot found a drop_nlink warning that is triggered by an easy to detect nlink corruption of a directory. This patch adds a sanity check to minix_rmdir to prevent the warning and instead return EFSCORRUPTED to the caller. The changes were tested using the syzbot reproducer as well as local testing.
