Li Zefan 65dff759d2 cgroup: fix cgroup_path() vs rename() race
rename() will change dentry->d_name. The result of this race can
be worse than seeing partially rewritten name, but we might access
a stale pointer because rename() will re-allocate memory to hold
a longer name.

As accessing dentry->name must be protected by dentry->d_lock or
parent inode's i_mutex, while on the other hand cgroup-path() can
be called with some irq-safe spinlocks held, we can't generate
cgroup path using dentry->d_name.

Alternatively we make a copy of dentry->d_name and save it in
cgrp->name when a cgroup is created, and update cgrp->name at
rename().

v5: use flexible array instead of zero-size array.
v4: - allocate root_cgroup_name and all root_cgroup->name points to it.
    - add cgroup_name() wrapper.
v3: use kfree_rcu() instead of synchronize_rcu() in user-visible path.
v2: make cgrp->name RCU safe.
