fs: Lock moved directories 

commit 28eceeda13 upstream.

When a directory is moved to a different directory, some filesystems
(udf, ext4, ocfs2, f2fs, and likely gfs2, reiserfs, and others) need to
update their pointer to the parent and this must not race with other
operations on the directory. Lock the directories when they are moved.
Although not all filesystems need this locking, we perform it in
vfs_rename() because getting the lock ordering right is really difficult
and we don't want to expose these locking details to filesystems.

the parent and finds source and target. In case of exchange (with

Proof:
First of all, at any moment we have a partial ordering of the

First of all, at any moment we have a linear ordering of the

That ordering can change. However, the following is true:
