Looks good, but "f2fs_casefolded_name" would be a better name for this cache.

"f2fs_casefold_name_entry" makes it sounds like it contains some bookkeeping
information and not the actual casefolded filenames.

Also this variable needs to be prefixed with "f2fs_".  Otherwise this will cause
a build error if/when ext4 adds the same thing.
