instead of moving onto subsequent segments).

rename: called by the rename(2) system call to rename the object to
have the parent and name given by the second inode and dentry.
+ rename2: this has an additional flags argument compared to rename.
+ If no flags are supported by the filesystem then this method
+ need not be implemented. If some flags are supported then the
+ filesystem must return -EINVAL for any unsupported or unknown
+ flags. Currently the following flags are implemented:
+ (1) RENAME_NOREPLACE: this flag indicates that if the target
+ of the rename exists the rename should fail with -EEXIST
+ instead of replacing the target. The VFS already checks for
+ existence, so for local filesystems the RENAME_NOREPLACE
+ implementation is equivalent to plain rename.
+ (2) RENAME_EXCHANGE: exchange source and target. Both must
+ exist; this is checked by the VFS. Unlike plain rename,
