POSIX says in
<http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/rename.html>:

  Upon successful completion, rename() shall mark for update the st_ctime
  and st_mtime fields of the parent directory of each file.

ext[23]_rename fail to update st_[cm]time of the target directory if the
target file already existed.
