Hello,
This series add support for the renameat2 system call RENAME_EXCHANGE flag
(which allows to atomically replace two paths) to the vfat filesystem code.
There are many use cases for this, but we are particularly interested in
making possible for vfat filesystems to be part of OSTree [0] deployments.
Currently OSTree relies on symbolic links to make the deployment updates
an atomic transactional operation. But RENAME_EXCHANGE could be used [1]
to achieve a similar level of robustness when using a vfat filesystem.
Patch #1 is just a preparatory patch to introduce the RENAME_EXCHANGE
support in patch #2 and finally patch #3 adds some kselftests to test it.
This is my first contribution to the fs/* subsystem, so I'm marking this
set as RFC, in case I got anything wrong with the patches. But they work
correctly on my local testing.

Add the following new guidelines:
- Add instruction to use lib.mk
- Add instruction about how to use headers from kernel source
- Add instruction to add .gitignore file
- Add instruction about how to add new test in selftests/Makefile
- Add instruction about different build commands to test

Following patch is fixing build of kselftest when separate output
direcotry is specified using kernel's top most Makefile. It should be
accepted first:
