fix loop checks in d_materialise_unique()
Both __d_unalias() and __d_materialise_dentry() need loop prevention. Grab rename_lock in caller, check for loops there... As a side benefit, we have dentry_lock_for_move() called only under rename_lock, which seriously reduces deadlock potential of the execrable "locking order" used for ->d_lock.
