nfs: fix comments in nfs_rename()
Comments are wrong or out of date. In particular d_drop() doesn't free the inode it just unhashes the dentry. And if target is a directory then it is not checked for being busy. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
