[PATCH RFCv4 1/4] fs: introduce helper d_path_unsafe()

[Jia He <justin.he@arm.com>]

This helper is similar to d_path except that it doesn't take any
seqlock/spinlock. It is typical for debugging purpose. Besides,
an additional return value *prenpend_len* is used to get the full
path length of the dentry.

prepend_name_with_len() enhances the behavior of prepend_name().
Previously it will skip the loop at once in __prepen_path() when the
space is not enough. __prepend_path() gets the full length of dentry
together with the parent recusively.

Besides, if someone invokes snprintf with small but positive space,
prepend_name_with() needs to move and copy the string partially.

More than that, kasnprintf will pass NULL _buf_ and _end_, hence
it returns at the very beginning with false in this case;
