Subject: [PATCH 24/28] proc: Supply an accessor to get the name in a
 proc_dir_entry struct [RFC]

Supply an accessor to get access to the name in a proc_dir_entry struct, just
returning a const pointer to it.

This is only needed by the xt_hashlimit netfilter module as that appears to
use the name in the pde to save a label in the xt_hashlimit_htable struct -
which will be a problem if CONFIG_PROC_FS=n.
