I see. And security_inode_rename() should also receive the flags argument, for
smack_inode_rename() needs no change as it checks MAY_READWRITE permission on
both inodes.

I think below change is fine for SELinux/SMACK/Capability. TOMOYO and AppArmor
want separate patch for RENAME_EXCHANGE handling.

Miklos, can you insert below change between a patch which defines
RENAME_EXCHANGE and a patch which implements RENAME_EXCHANGE functionality?
