Merge branch 'cross-rename' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs

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"
