Outside of this moving from a zeroed alloc to one that does not, the
change looks woefully incomplete. Why does this allocation need to be
GFP_ATOMIC, and:
1) file_name = kmalloc(PATH_MAX, GFP_KERNEL); does not
2) filp_open() -> getname_kernel() -> __getname() does not
3) filp_open() -> getname_kernel() does not
4) bdev_open_by_dev() does not
IOW, you have a slew of GFP_KERNEL allocations in there, and you
probably just patched the largest one. But the core issue remains.
The whole handling of backing_dev_store() looks pretty broken.
