ubifs: Fix unattached xattr inode if powercut happens after deleting

When powercut happens after deleting file, the xattr inode could be
alone existing in TNC but its' xattr entry cannot be found in TNC.
File inode and xattr inode are added into orphan list after deleting
file, file inode's nlink is 0 but xattr inode's nlink is not 0 (PS:
zero nlink xattr inode is written on disk in evicting process by
ubifs_jnl_write_inode). So, following process could happen:
 1. touch file
 2. setxattr(file)
 3. unlink file
    // inode(nlink=0), xattr inode(nlink=1) are added into orphan list
 4. commit
    // write inode inum and xattr inum into orphan area
 5. powercut
 6. mount
    do_kill_orphans
     // inode(nlink=0) is deleted from TNC by ubifs_tnc_remove_range,
     // xattr entry is deleted too.
     // xattr inode(nlink=1) is not deleted from TNC
Finally we could see following error while debugging UBIFS:
 UBIFS error (ubi0:0 pid 1093): dbg_check_filesystem [ubifs]: inode 66
 nlink is 1, but calculated nlink is 0
 UBIFS (ubi0:0): dump of the inode 66 sitting in LEB 12:2128
   node_type      0 (inode node)
   group_type     1 (in node group)
   len            197
   key            (66, inode)
   size           37
   nlink          1
   flags          0x20
   xattr_cnt      0
   xattr_size     0
   xattr_names    0
   data len       37

Fix it by removing entire inode with it's xattrs while replaying orphan,
just replace function ubifs_tnc_remove_range by ubifs_tnc_remove_ino.
