Though I read through some of the nfs code when developing my ocfs2 patch, I
wasn't sure that approach was desired.

Partly because I'm not experienced enough with nfs internals to have known
whether that was safe to do, and partly because the comment in
vfs_rename_other() seemed to indicate that FS_ODD_RENAME was a temporary
solution for NFS, whereas I was looking for something more permanent.

That all said, how does this look? I took the liberty of renaming the flag
to something a little more descriptive.

During an irc conversation, Chuck pointed out that perhaps a better solution
is to just internalize the d_move() to all file systems. It makes the patch
a bit more sweeping, but I'm willing to handle it if everybody agrees on
that approach.

[PATCH] Allow file systems to manually d_move() inside of ->rename()

Some file systems want to manually d_move() the dentries involved in a
rename. We can do this by making use of the FS_ODD_RENAME flag if we just
have nfs_rename() unconditionally do the d_move(). While there, we rename
the flag to be more descriptive.

OCFS2 uses this to protect that part of the rename operation with a cluster
lock.
