Oops, heh.  Yeah, I'd added chunks to prevent block allocation, but on
further analysis I don't think that was necessary.

Hm.  I /think/ it's true that we can't ever rename atop an existing
directory, so I think this cna go away:

$ mkdir /tmp/xx
$ touch /tmp/yy
$ strace -s99 -e renameat ./src/renameat2 /tmp/yy /tmp/xx
renameat(AT_FDCWD, "/tmp/yy", AT_FDCWD, "/tmp/xx") = -1 EISDIR (Is a directory)
