Slub alloced mem overwritten ocurrs when fsnotify thread was copying the
dentry name and another rename thread change the dentry name at same
time.

These patches do the following:

1. A new copy_dname method was created which copy file_name to new alloc mem.
   The later patch (of 2) would use this method

2. Use the new copy_dname method instead of using the point of dentry->name,
   which may be modified anytime

We can use script below to reproduce overwritten warning

```
#!/usr/bin/python

import os
import random
import time
import string
import multiprocessing

WRITE_SIZE = 100
filename = "/watch/tdc_admin.LOG"
#filename = "/watch/tdc_admin.LOG.1234567890.1234567890.1234567890"

def file_op_process():
    for j in range(10):
        n = random.randrange(0, 10)
        tobe_wrote = "".join(random.sample(string.ascii_letters, 10))
        for i in xrange(n):
            try:
                os.rename(filename, filename + ".1123123123")
            except OSError:
                pass

        for i in xrange(n):
            f = file(filename, "w+")
            f.write(tobe_wrote * i * (1024 / 2))
            f.flush()

            f.close()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    process_list = []
    while True:
        for i in range(100):
            p0 = multiprocessing.Process(target=file_op_process)
            p0.start()
            process_list.append(p0)

        #time.sleep(0.002)
        for p in process_list:
            if p.is_alive():
                p.join(0.01)
            else:
                del p

```
