Subject: [PATCH 2/2] NFS: Cache invalidation fixup

From: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@...app.com>

If someone has renamed a directory on the server, triggering the d_move
code in d_materialise_unique(), then we need to invalidate the
cached directory information in the source parent directory.
