ovl: relax WARN_ON() on rename to self
In ovl_rename(), if new upper is hardlinked to old upper underneath overlayfs before upper dirs are locked, user will get an ESTALE error and a WARN_ON will be printed. Changes to underlying layers while overlayfs is mounted may result in unexpected behavior, but it shouldn't crash the kernel and it shouldn't trigger WARN_ON() either, so relax this WARN_ON().
