jffs2: reduce the breakage on recovery from halfway failed rename()

commit f93812846f31381d35c04c6c577d724254355e7f upstream.

d_instantiate(new_dentry, old_inode) is absolutely wrong thing to
do - it will oops if new_dentry used to be positive, for starters.
What we need is d_invalidate() the target and be done with that.
