[ Upstream commit 61647823aa920e395afcce4b57c32afb51456cab ]

d_move() will call __d_drop() and then __d_rehash()
on the dentry being moved.  This creates a small window
when the dentry appears to be unhashed.  Many tests
of d_unhashed() are made under ->d_lock and so are safe
from racing with this window, but some aren't.
In particular, getcwd() calls d_unlinked() (which calls
d_unhashed()) without d_lock protection, so it can race.

This races has been seen in practice with lustre, which uses d_move() as
part of name lookup.  See:
   https://jira.hpdd.intel.com/browse/LU-9735
It could race with a regular rename(), and result in ENOENT instead
of either the 'before' or 'after' name.

The race can be demonstrated with a simple program which
has two threads, one renaming a directory back and forth
while another calls getcwd() within that directory: it should never
fail, but does.  See:
  https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9455345/

We could fix this race by taking d_lock and rechecking when
d_unhashed() reports true.  Alternately when can remove the window,
which is the approach this patch takes.

___d_drop() is introduce which does *not* clear d_hash.pprev
so the dentry still appears to be hashed.  __d_drop() calls
___d_drop(), then clears d_hash.pprev.
__d_move() now uses ___d_drop() and only clears d_hash.pprev
when not rehashing.
