If we also instrument load_unaligned_zeropad() with kasan_check_read(addr, 1),
than it should be fine. We don't want completely unchecked read of a source string.
But I also would like to revert df4c0e36f1b1 ("fs: dcache: manually unpoison dname after allocation to shut up kasan's reports")
So I was going to send something like the hunk bellow (split in several patches).
Or we could just use instrumented load_unalingned_zeropad() everywhere, but it seems wrong
to use it to load *cs only to shut up KASAN.
