Description

Currently, the MDS only stores the symlink inode's backtrace information in the data pool. During disaster recovery of the metadata pool, e.g. by:

https://docs.ceph.com/docs/luminous/cephfs/disaster-recovery/#using-an-alternate-metadata-pool-for-recovery

The symlinks are recreated as regular files. Store the symlink target in the inode for recovery.

Also, fix cephfs-data-scan to restore symlinks using this information.
