Subject: [PATCH v2] f2fs: avoid utf8_strncasecmp() with unstable name

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@...gle.com>

If the dentry name passed to ->d_compare() fits in dentry::d_iname, then
it may be concurrently modified by a rename.  This can cause undefined
behavior (possibly out-of-bounds memory accesses or crashes) in
utf8_strncasecmp(), since fs/unicode/ isn't written to handle strings
that may be concurrently modified.

Fix this by first copying the filename to a stack buffer if needed.
This way we get a stable snapshot of the filename.

v2: Use memcpy() + barrier() instead of a byte-by-byte copy.
    Also rebased onto f2fs/dev.
