We need to manually unpoison rounded up allocation size for dname to avoid kasan's reports in dentry_string_cmp(). When CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS=y dentry_string_cmp may access few bytes beyound requested in kmalloc() size. dentry_string_cmp() relates on that fact that dentry allocated using kmalloc and kmalloc internally round up allocation size. So this is not a bug, but this makes kasan to complain about such accesses. To avoid such reports we mark rounded up allocation size in shadow as accessible.
