Remove locking of moved directory in ext4_rename2(). We will take care of it in VFS instead. This effectively reverts commit 0813299c586b ("ext4: Fix possible corruption when moving a directory") and followup fixes.
Remind me --- commit 0813299c586b is not actually causing any problems; it's just not fully effective at solving the problem. Is that correct?
In other words, is there a rush in trying to get this revert to Linus during this cycle as a regression fix?
I think the answer is no, and we can just let this full patch series go in via the vfs branch during the next merge window, but I just wanted to make sure.
Thanks!
