Subject: [PATCH 2/9] ocfs2: Avoid touching renamed directory if parent does not change

From: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz>

The VFS will not be locking moved directory if its parent does not
change. Change ocfs2 rename code to avoid touching renamed directory if
its parent does not change as without locking that can corrupt the
filesystem.
