[PATCH RFC 2/3] lib/vsprintf.c: make %pD print full path for file

[Jia He]

We have '%pD' for printing a filename. It may not be perfect (by
default it only prints one component.)

As suggested by Linus at [1]:
A dentry has a parent, but at the same time, a dentry really does
inherently have "one name" (and given just the dentry pointers, you
can't show mount-related parenthood, so in many ways the "show just
one name" makes sense for "%pd" in ways it doesn't necessarily for
"%pD"). But while a dentry arguably has that "one primary component",
a _file_ is certainly not exclusively about that last component.

Hence "file_dentry_name()" simply shouldn't use "dentry_name()" at all.
Despite that shared code origin, and despite that similar letter
choice (lower-vs-upper case), a dentry and a file really are very
different from a name standpoint.

 For printing dentry name; if we race with :c:func:`d_move`, the name might
 be a mix of old and new ones, but it won't oops.  %pd dentry is a safer
 equivalent of %s dentry->d_name.name we used to use, %pd<n> prints ``n``
