dcache: permit dynamic_dname()s up to NAME_MAX
dynamic_dname() has had an implicit limit of 64 characters since it was
introduced in commit c23fbb6 ("VFS: delay the dentry name
generation on sockets and pipes"), however it seems that this was a
fairly arbitrary number (suspiciously it was double the previously
hardcoded buffer size).
NAME_MAX seems like a more reasonable and consistent limit for d_name
lengths. While we're at it, we can also remove the unnecessary
stack-allocated array and just memmove() the formatted string to the end
of the buffer.
It should also be noted that at least one driver (in particular,
liveupdate's usage of anon_inode for session files) already exceeded
this limit without noticing that readlink(/proc/self/fd/$n) always
returns -ENAMETOOLONG, so this fixes those drivers as well.
Fixes: 0153094 ("liveupdate: luo_session: add sessions support")
Fixes: c23fbb6 ("VFS: delay the dentry name generation on sockets and pipes")
