There is the timing to consider here as well. Once you return from this
function the vfs is going to unlock everything without doing the d_move.

Is it better to mark the directories for revalidation at that point, or
when the RENAME reply comes in? I would think that marking it for reval
immediately would be best. Is there an argument for waiting?
