Problems with the cm_Rename() functions:

 * when a rename occurs across directories, the file server allocates
   a new vnode which in turn alters the FID.  Since the new FID and 
   potentially version number is unknown to the client, it is not 
   possible to update the target directory with the new name and
   FID thereby avoiding reading the directory from the file server.

 * when the old vnode is removed, the callback is broken but the
   client did not discard the cm_scache_t object

In order to optimize the client cache AFS requires a RXAFS_RenameEx
rpc that is equivalent to the current RPC but returns the new FID
and status.  This would permit the cache manager to relabel the 
data buffers and cm_scache_t that are known to contain valid data.
