3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit ca5358ef75fc69fee5322a38a340f5739d997c10 upstream.
... by not hitting rename_retry for reasons other than rename having
happened. In other words, do _not_ restart when finding that
between unlocking the child and locking the parent the former got
into __dentry_kill(). Skip the killed siblings instead...
