[PATCH] ubifs: Don't block RENAME_WHITEOUT flag in rename

From: Jesper Nilsson
Date: Wed Mar 29 2017 - 11:12:55 EST


The test does not allow the valid flag RENAME_WHITEOUT
and in fact, the calling function of do_rename already tests
the flags, so the test is unnecessary, allowing us to drop
it completely.

With this patch RENAME_WHITEOUT for overlayfs on ubifs works
as intended.
