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.
