fs: rename generic_delete_inode() and generic_drop_inode()
generic_delete_inode() is rather misleading for what the routine is
doing. inode_just_drop() should be much clearer.
The new naming is inconsistent with generic_drop_inode(), so rename that
one as well with inode_ as the suffix.
No functional changes.
