Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: avoid utf8_strncasecmp() with unstable name

If the dentry name passed to ->d_compare() fits in dentry::d_iname, then
it may be concurrently modified by a rename.  This can cause undefined
behavior (possibly out-of-bounds memory accesses or crashes) in
utf8_strncasecmp(), since fs/unicode/ isn't written to handle strings
that may be concurrently modified.

Fix this by first copying the filename to a stack buffer if needed.
This way we get a stable snapshot of the filename.

I've grabbed f874fa1c7c79 ("f2fs: split f2fs_d_compare() from
f2fs_match_name()") as a dependency and queued both for 5.7 and 5.4.
