fat: Fix lost inode update in do_msdos_rename() with DIRSYNC
Commit e668e0668181 ("fat: Replace fat_sync_inode() with sync_inode_metadata()") hoisted mark_inode_dirty() in front of the IS_DIRSYNC conditional in all converted callers except for the main rename path of do_msdos_rename(). There old_inode is generally still clean when the target directory has DIRSYNC set and, unlike fat_sync_inode(), sync_inode_metadata() does nothing for a clean inode. Thus the directory entry at the new location is never updated with the contents of old_inode: it stays the way msdos_add_entry() created it, with start cluster 0 and size 0 (or, when the rename replaced an existing target, it keeps describing the deleted target). Since old_inode is also never marked dirty, later writeback doesn't update the entry either and the stale directory entry ends up on disk even on a clean unmount, so the renamed file loses its contents. Mark old_inode dirty before calling sync_inode_metadata() like all the other call sites do.
