      Pull renameat2 system call from Miklos Szeredi:
       "This adds a new syscall, renameat2(), which is the same as renameat()
        but with a flags argument.
      
        The purpose of extending rename is to add cross-rename, a symmetric
        variant of rename, which exchanges the two files.  This allows
        interesting things, which were not possible before, for example
        atomically replacing a directory tree with a symlink, etc...  This
        also allows overlayfs and friends to operate on whiteouts atomically.
      
        Andy Lutomirski also suggested a "noreplace" flag, which disables the
        overwriting behavior of rename.
      
        These two flags, RENAME_EXCHANGE and RENAME_NOREPLACE are only
        implemented for ext4 as an example and for testing"
