oops.  parent->d_inode is unstable here; could have become NULL by that
point.

Really?  How would the callers possibly tell mismatch from an
error?  And if they could, would would they *do* with that
error, seeing that it might be an effect of a race with
rename()?

Again, ->d_compare() is NOT given a stable name.  Or *parent.  Or
(parent->d_inode).
