DHT/Rebalance : Hard link Migration Failure

Probelm : __is_file_migratable used to return ENOTSUP
for all the cases. Hence, it will add to the failure
count. And the remove-brick status will show failure
for all the files.

Solution : Added 'ret = -2' to gf_defrag_handle_hardlink to
be deemed as success. Otherwise dht_migrate_file will try to
migrate each of the hard link, which not intended.

+
+Hard link migration is carried out in three stages.
+
+(Say there are n hardlinks)
+Stage 1: Setting the new hashed subvol information on the 1st hardlink
+         encountered (linkto setxattr)
+
+Stage 2: Creating hardlinks on new hashed subvol for the 2nd to (n-1)th
+         hardlink
+
+Stage 3: Physical migration of the data file for nth hardlink
+
+Why to deem "-2" as success and not "0":
+
+   dht_migrate_file expects return value "0" from _is_file_migratable if
+the file has to be migrated.
+
+   _is_file_migratable returns zero only when it is called with the
+flag "GF_DHT_MIGRATE_HARDLINK_IN_PROGRESS".
+
+   gf_defrag_handle_hardlink calls dht_migrate_file for physical migration
+of the data file with the flag "GF_DHT_MIGRATE_HARDLINK_IN_PROGRESS"
+
+Hence, gf_defrag_handle_hardlink returning "0" for success will force
+"dht_migrate_file" to migrate each of the hardlink which is not intended.
+
+For each of the three stage mentioned above "-2" will be returned and will
+be converted to "0" in dht_migrate_file.
