Currently lock_two_nondirectories() is skipping any passed directories. After vfs_rename() uses lock_two_inodes(), all the remaining four users of this function pass only regular files to it. So drop the somewhat unusual "skip directory" logic and instead warn if anybody passes directory to it. This also allows us to use lock_two_inodes() in lock_two_nondirectories() to concentrate the lock ordering logic in less places.
