There's no need for the 'qname' variable anymore. Can you please remove it and
do:

if (is_dot_or_dotdot(iname->name, iname->len)) {

This doesn't handle the len=0 case. Did you check that none of the users pass
in zero-length names? It looks like fscrypt_fname_disk_to_usr() can, if the
directory entry on-disk has a zero-length name. Currently it will return
-EUCLEAN in that case, but with this patch it may think it's the name ".".

So I think there needs to either be a len >= 1 check added, *or* you need to
make an argument for why it's okay to not care about the empty name case.
