ext4: check to make sure the rename(2)'s destination is not freed
commit b50282f3241acee880514212d88b6049fb5039c8 upstream.
If the destination of the rename(2) system call exists, the inode's
link count (i_nlinks) must be non-zero. If it is, the inode can end
up on the orphan list prematurely, leading to all sorts of hilarity,
including a use-after-free.
