Make use of FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE to avoid a race condition that can occur
during ->rename() if we d_move() outside of the parent directory cluster
locks, and another node discovers the new name (created during the rename)
and unlinks it. d_move() will unconditionally rehash a dentry - which will
leave stale data in the system.
