In dir_add() and do_name(), de->name and vcollected are allocated by
kstrdup(). And de->name and vcollected are dereferenced in the following
codes. However, memory allocation functions such as kstrdup() may fail. 
Dereferencing this null pointer may cause the kernel go wrong. Thus we
should check these two kstrdup() operations.
Further, if kstrdup() returns NULL, we should free de in dir_add().
