Subject: [PATCH 1/2] btrfs: don't mess with i_nlink of unlocked inode in
 rename()

old_inode is not locked; it's not safe to play with its link
count.  Instead of bumping it and calling btrfs_unlink_inode(),
add a variant of the latter that does not do btrfs_drop_nlink()/
btrfs_update_inode(), call it instead of btrfs_inc_nlink()/
btrfs_unlink_inode() and do btrfs_update_inode() ourselves.
