URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/295714

Log:
  MFC   r295616:
  ext2fs:       Remove panics for rename() race conditions.
  
  Sync with r84642 from UFS:
  
  The panics are inappropriate because the IN_RENAME flag only fixes a
  few of the huge number of race conditions that can result in the
  source path becoming invalid even prior to the VOP_RENAME() call.
