ocfs2: should add inode into orphan dir after updating entry in ocfs2_rename()



There are two files a and b in dir /mnt/ocfs2.

    node A                           node B

  mv a b
  In ocfs2_rename(), after calling
  ocfs2_orphan_add(), the inode of
  file b will be added into orphan
  dir.

  If ocfs2_update_entry() fails,
  ocfs2_rename return error and mv
  operation fails. But file b still
  exists in the parent dir.

  ocfs2_queue_orphan_scan
   -> ocfs2_queue_recovery_completion
   -> ocfs2_complete_recovery
   -> ocfs2_recover_orphans
  The inode of the file b will be
  put with iput().

  ocfs2_evict_inode
   -> ocfs2_delete_inode
   -> ocfs2_wipe_inode
   -> ocfs2_remove_inode
  OCFS2_VALID_FL in the inode
  i_flags will be cleared.

                                   The file b still can be accessed
                                   on node B.
                                   ls /mnt/ocfs2
                                   When first read the file b with
                                   ocfs2_read_inode_block(). It will
                                   validate the inode using
                                   ocfs2_validate_inode_block().
                                   Because OCFS2_VALID_FL not set in
                                   the inode i_flags, so the file
                                   system will be readonly.

So we should add inode into orphan dir after updating entry in
ocfs2_rename().
