[PATCH v4 11/14] Add start_renaming_two_dentries()

From: NeilBrown <neil at brown.name>
A few callers want to lock for a rename and already have both dentries.
Also debugfs does want to perform a lookup but doesn't want permission
checking, so start_renaming_dentry() cannot be used.
This patch introduces start_renaming_two_dentries() which is given both
dentries. debugfs performs one lookup itself. As it will only continue
with a negative dentry and as those cannot be renamed or unlinked, it is
safe to do the lookup before getting the rename locks.
overlayfs uses start_renaming_two_dentries() in three places and selinux
uses it twice in sel_make_policy_nodes().
