sequences are mostly minor, the worst that can happen is that we track an inode as orphan although we don't need to and e2fsck then complains (resulting in occasional ext4/307 xfstest failures). Fix the problem by introducing a helper for checking whether an inode is tracked as orphan and use it in appropriate places.
