GFS2: Make rename not save dirent location
commit 19aeb5a6 upstream. This patch fixes a regression in the patch "GFS2: Remember directory insert point", commit 2b47dad8. The problem had to do with the rename function: The function found space for the new dirent, and remembered that location. But then the old dirent was removed, which often moved the eligible location for the renamed dirent. Putting the new dirent at the saved location caused file system corruption. This patch adds a new "save_loc" variable to struct gfs2_diradd. If 1, the dirent location is saved. If 0, the dirent location is not saved and the buffer_head is released as per previous behavior.
