ext4: don't access the source subdirectory content on same-directory rename

We can't really afford locking the source on same-directory rename;
currently vfs_rename() tries to do that, but it will have to be changed.
The logics in ext4 is lazy and goes looking for ".." in source even in
same-directory case.  It's not hard to get rid of that, leaving that
behaviour only for cross-directory case; that VFS can get locks safely
(and will keep doing that after the coming changes).
