This is a clean up patch that skips the flip flag logic for delayed attr
renames. Since the log replay keeps the inode locked, we do not need to
worry about race windows with attr lookups. So we can skip over
flipping the flag and the extra transaction roll for it
RFC: In the last review, folks asked for some performance analysis, so I
did a few perf captures with and with out this patch. What I found was
that there wasnt very much difference at all between having the patch or
not having it. Of the time we do spend in the affected code, the
percentage is small. Most of the time we spend about %0.03 of the time
in this function, with or with out the patch. Occasionally we get a
0.02%, though not often. So I think this starts to challenge needing
this patch at all. This patch was requested some number of reviews ago,
be perhaps in light of the findings, it may no longer be of interest.
