nilfs2: keep zero value in i_cno except for gc-inodes

On-memory inode structures of nilfs have a member "i_cno" which stores
a checkpoint number related to the inode.  For gc-inodes, this field
indicates version of data each gc-inode caches for GC.  Log writer
temporarily uses "i_cno" to transfer the latest checkpoint number.

This stops the latter use and lets only gc-inodes use it.

The purpose of this patch is to allow the successive change use
"i_cno" for inode lookup.
