If everything that was under /usr is now under /home and everything that was
under /home is now under /usr surely you just want to umount /dev/sda5 and
/dev/sda2 and then...
mount /dev/sda5 /home
.. and...
mount /dev/sda2 /usr
... you really shouldn't (can't) rename mount points while they're in use
becuase them /etc/mtab (the list of mounted filesystems) won't agree with
reality.
Better yet, just make the changes to /etc/fstab and when you reboot
everything will be where it should.
