GFS2: Eliminate redundant buffer_head manipulation in gfs2_unlink_inode

Hi,

Since we now have a dirty_inode that takes care of manipulating the inode buffer and writing from the inode to the buffer, we can eliminate some unnecessary buffer manipulations in gfs2_unlink_inode that are now redundant.
