[PATCH v8 09/12] fs: dcache: manually unpoison dname after allocation to shut up kasan's reports

[Andrey Ryabinin]

We need to manually unpoison rounded up allocation size for dname
to avoid kasan's reports in dentry_string_cmp().
When CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS=y dentry_string_cmp may access
few bytes beyound requested in kmalloc() size.

dentry_string_cmp() relates on that fact that dentry allocated
using kmalloc and kmalloc internally round up allocation size.
So this is not a bug, but this makes kasan to complain about
such accesses.
To avoid such reports we mark rounded up allocation size in
shadow as accessible.
