We can't really afford locking the source on same-directory rename; currently vfs_rename() tries to do that, but it will have to be changed. The logics in ext4 is lazy and goes looking for ".." in source even in same-directory case. It's not hard to get rid of that, leaving that behaviour only for cross-directory case; that VFS can get locks safely (and will keep doing that after the coming changes).
