[158/262] ext4: ext4_rename should dirty dir_bh with the correct directory

From: Greg KH

3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Darrick J. Wong" <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit bcaa992975041e40449be8c010c26192b8c8b409 upstream.

When ext4_rename performs a directory rename (move), dir_bh is a
buffer that is modified to update the '..' link in the directory being
moved (old_inode). However, ext4_handle_dirty_metadata is called with
the old parent directory inode (old_dir) and dir_bh, which is
incorrect because dir_bh does not belong to the parent inode. Fix
this error.
