hfsplus: fix volume corruption issue for generic/480

The xfstests' test-case generic/480 leaves HFS+ volume
in corrupted state:

generic/480 _check_generic_filesystem: filesystem on /dev/loop51 is inconsistent
(see XFSTESTS-2/xfstests-dev/results//generic/480.full for details)

The generic/480 test executes such steps on final phase:

"Now remove of the links of our file and create
a new file with the same name and in the same
parent directory, and finally fsync this new file."

unlink $SCRATCH_MNT/testdir/bar
touch $SCRATCH_MNT/testdir/bar
$XFS_IO_PROG -c "fsync" $SCRATCH_MNT/testdir/bar

"Simulate a power failure and mount the filesystem
to check that replaying the fsync log/journal
succeeds, that is the mount operation does not fail."

_flakey_drop_and_remount

The key issue in HFS+ logic is that hfsplus_link(),
hfsplus_unlink(), hfsplus_rmdir(), hfsplus_symlink(),
and hfsplus_mknod() methods don't call
hfsplus_cat_write_inode() for the case of modified
inode objects. As a result, even if hfsplus_file_fsync()
is trying to flush the dirty Catalog File, but because of
not calling hfsplus_cat_write_inode() not all modified
inodes save the new state into Catalog File's records.
Finally, simulation of power failure results in inconsistent
state of Catalog File and FSCK tool reports about
volume corruption.

This patch adds calling of hfsplus_cat_write_inode()
method for modified inodes in hfsplus_link(),
hfsplus_unlink(), hfsplus_rmdir(), hfsplus_symlink(),
and hfsplus_mknod() methods. Also, it adds debug output
in several methods.
