[PATCH 5/6] ubifs: do_rename: Fix wrong space budget when target inode's nlink > 1

If target inode is a special file (eg. block/char device) with nlink
count greater than 1, the inode with ui->data will be re-written on
disk. However, UBIFS losts target inode's data_len while doing space
budget. Bad space budget may let make_reservation() return with -ENOSPC,
which could turn ubifs to read-only mode in do_writepage() process.
