vfs: add renameat2 syscall

Add new renameat2 syscall, which is the same as renameat with an added
flags argument.

Pass flags to vfs_rename() and to i_op->rename() as well.

   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,
+        source and target may be of different type.

   readlink: called by the readlink(2) system call. Only required if
         you want to support reading symbolic links
