moves it over to the old name.  The new file may be on a different
filesystem, so both st_dev and st_ino of the file may change.

apply to the copied up file.
Any open files referring to this inode will access the old data.

On a file opened with O_RDONLY fchmod(2), fchown(2), futimesat(2) and
fsetxattr(2) will fail with EROFS.
Any file locks (and leases) obtained before copy_up will not apply
to the copied up file.

"break" the link.  Changes will not be propagated to other names
