The cause of the issue is that brelse() is called on both ofibh.sbh
and ofibh.ebh by udf_find_entry() when it returns NULL. However,
brelse() is called by udf_rename(), too. So, b_count on buffer_head
becomes unbalanced.
This patch fixes the issue by not calling brelse() by udf_rename()
when udf_find_entry() returns NULL.
