[PATCH] epoll: Fix UAF dentry name access in wakeup source setup

[Jann Horn]

In ep_create_wakeup_source(), epi->ffd.file is some random file we're
watching with epoll, so it might well be renamed concurrently. And when a
file gets renamed, the buffer containing its name may be freed.

This can be reproduced by racing a task that keeps adding and removing
EPOLLWAKEUP epoll entries for a fifo with another task that keeps renaming
the fifo between two long names if you add an mdelay(200) call directly
before wakeup_source_register(); KASAN then complains:

BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in strlen+0xa/0x40

Backporting note: This patch depends on commit 49d31c2f389a ("dentry name
snapshots"). Maybe that one should also be backported as a dependency for
pre-v4.13? (Sorry, I wasn't sure how to properly express this as a "Fixes:"
tag.)

I'm guessing this will go through akpm's tree?
