Subject: [patch resend] vfs: fix vfs_rename_dir for FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE filesystems

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@...e.cz>

vfs_rename_dir() doesn't properly account for filesystems with
FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE.  If new_dentry has a target inode attached, it
unhashes the new_dentry prior to the rename() iop and rehashes it
after, but doesn't account for the possibility that rename() may have
swapped {old,new}_dentry.  For FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE filesystems, it
rehashes new_dentry (now the old renamed-from name, which d_move()
expected to go away), such that a subsequent lookup will find it.

This was caught by the recently posted POSIX fstest suite, rename/10.t 
test 62 (and others) on ceph.

The bug was introduced by: commit 349457ccf2592c14bdf13b6706170ae2e94931b1
"[PATCH] Allow file systems to manually d_move() inside of ->rename()"

Fix by not rehashing the new dentry.  Rehashing used to be needed by
d_move() but isn't anymore.
