[PATCH] VFS: Make d_materialise_unique() enforce directory uniqueness
If the caller tries to instantiate a directory using an inode that already
has a dentry alias, then we attempt to rename the existing dentry instead
of instantiating a new one. Fail with an ELOOP error if the rename would
affect one of our parent directories.
This behaviour is needed in order to avoid issues such as
