From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> commit 3658840cd363f2be094f5dfd2f0b174a9055dd0f upstream. Remove locking of moved directory in ext4_rename2(). We will take care of it in VFS instead. This effectively reverts commit 0813299c586b ("ext4: Fix possible corruption when moving a directory") and followup fixes.
