ocfs2: Fix rename/extend race
If one process is extending a file while another is renaming it, there exists a window when rename could flush the old inode's stale i_size to disk. This patch recognizes the fact that rename is only updating the old inode's ctime, so it ensures only that value is flushed to disk.
