[PATCH 11/16] staging: ion: Store a copy of the client name on client creation

[John Stultz]

From: Mitchel Humpherys <mitchelh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Currently, we copy the pointer passed in to ion_client_create without
making a copy of the string itself. This approach is problematic since
it relies on the client keeping the name string in working order.
