exfat_move_file() removes the old directory entry before the new entry has been written. If writing the new entry fails, rename returns an error after the source entry has already been marked deleted. Write the new entry first, then remove the old entry and update the cached inode location. This keeps the source entry intact if creating the destination entry fails.
