Subject: [PATCH 5/7] ext4: rename: move EMLINK check up

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

Move checking i_nlink from after ext4_get_first_dir_block() to before.  The
check doesn't rely on the result of that function and the function only
fails on fs corruption, so the order shouldn't matter.
