From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx>
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. Currently all
FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE filesystems compensate for this by failing in
d_revalidate.
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.
