LogFS does not use a specialized area to maintain the inodes. The
inodes information is kept in a specialized file called inode file.
Similarly, the segment information is kept in a segment file. Since
the segment file also has an inode which is kept in the inode file,
the inode for segment file must be evicted before the inode for inode
file. The change fixes the following BUG during unmount
