Subject: [PATCH RFCv2 2/3] lib/vsprintf.c: make %pD print full path for file

We have '%pD' for printing a filename. It may not be perfect (by
default it only prints one component.)

As suggested by Linus at [1]:
A dentry has a parent, but at the same time, a dentry really does
inherently have "one name" (and given just the dentry pointers, you
can't show mount-related parenthood, so in many ways the "show just
one name" makes sense for "%pd" in ways it doesn't necessarily for
"%pD"). But while a dentry arguably has that "one primary component",
a _file_ is certainly not exclusively about that last component.

Hence "file_dentry_name()" simply shouldn't use "dentry_name()" at all.
Despite that shared code origin, and despite that similar letter
choice (lower-vs-upper case), a dentry and a file really are very
different from a name standpoint.

Here stack space is preferred for file_d_path_name() because it is
much safer. The stack size 256 is a compromise between stack overflow
and too short full path.
