reused inodes don't get i_translator cleared

Hi,

I am seeing spurious files with passive translator settings.  For example, I
just reinstalled the system, doing "rm -fR *" and then reinstalling.  This
gives me lots of files which seem to have left-over translator settings.  I
can not proof it by inode number (although I probably could with a lot of
effort, because I still have a backup of the partition).  But that is how it
looks like.

I did delete the filesystem under GNU/Linux, but I am not sure if that
wouldn't happen on GNU/Hurd as well, as we deliberately don't delete the
i_translator info when the inode is deleted (to make "undeletion" possible,
see comment in the code of write_node).

Where should this happen?  diskfs_alloc_node in ialloc.c?

Thanks,
Marcus
