Um. You do realize that d_move() happens with none of your locks held,
right? It's done in vfs_rename_{other,dir}() and the only thing held
is s_vfs_rename_sem and i_mutex on parents. How could your code in
writeback be able to distinguish

rename() is done
d_move() has happened, we see new pathname in dcache

from

rename() is done
d_move() has not yet happened, we see old pathname in dcache

and generate the right on-the-wire traffic in both cases? Note that here
server has already seen rename request; as far as server and client are
concerned the rename() is over.
