Updation of number of inode links not persisted about assise

Implementing #21 worked for me, at least for the other fields. Thanks!

The access control group has had a similar issue with some custom inode params. We've been adding user/group/permission fields to the inode/stat and, although they are processed properly in-memory (e.g. mlfs_object_create) when writing to a new file, these fields revert to zero when we close and reopen the same file later. It seems like these changes aren't being conveyed to the disk during digestion.

Based on my understanding, it is updated in the cache properly in LibFS, but during digestion, some inode updates (particularly nlinks in my case) are not being captured/digested. I guess you have the same issue after adding new attributes to the inode.

If my understanding is correct, you could attempt to add corresponding updates at the same place where I have added the fix for nlinks. The PR is here: #21

Thanks for the fix. This is now merged.
