Actually, looking at the users of dynamic_dname()...  Most of them are
fine with dynamic_dname() as it is, with 2 possible exceptions:
hugetlb_dname() and shmem_dname().  Both are using "/%s (deleted)",
dentry->d_name.name as format...  So the solution above may very
well be an overkill; something like

char *simple_dname(struct dentry *dentry, char *buffer, int buflen)
{
	char *end = buffer + buflen;
	/* these dentries are never renamed, so d_lock is not needed */
	if (prepend(&end, &buflen, " (deleted)", 11) ||
	    prepend_name(&end, &buflen, &dentry->d_name) ||
	    prepend(&end, &buflen, "/", 1))
		end = ERR_PTR(-ENAMETOOLONG);
	return end;
}

will do for those two.  Care to test the diff below?

cope with potentially long ->d_dname() output for shmem/hugetlb

dynamic_dname() is both too much and too little for those - the
output may be well in excess of 64 bytes dynamic_dname() assumes
to be enough (thanks to ashmem feeding really long names to
shmem_file_setup()) and vsnprintf() is an overkill for those
guys.
