Fix RenameOp compatibility with macfuse 4.x

Closed-source macfuse 4.x has broken compatibility with osxfuse 3.x:
it passes an additional 64-bit field (flags) after RenameIn regardless
that we don't enable the support for RENAME_SWAP/RENAME_EXCL.

The simplest fix is just to check for the presence of all-zero flags
and strip them when they're present.
