ocfs2: fix rename vs unlink race
If another node unlinks the destination while ocfs2_rename() is waiting on a cluster lock, ocfs2_rename() simply logs an error and continues. This causes a crash because the renaming node is now trying to delete a non-existent inode. The correct solution is to return -ENOENT.
