ovl: take a snapshot of the name for copy up
The copy up of a directory reads a freed dentry name when a lookup moves the directory at the same time. A pointer to the name of a dentry is only valid while something stops a move of the dentry. ovl_do_copy_up() keeps a plain copy of c->dentry->d_name in c->destname, and ovl_copy_up_start() only keeps ovl_rename() away. When a lookup finds the same directory under another name after a change to the lower layer, d_splice_alias() moves the dentry and frees its external name. With a delay in ovl_do_copy_up(), a chmod of a lower-only directory with a 60 byte name raced with a rename of that directory in the lower layer and a stat of the new name, and KASAN reported a use-after-free in lookup_noperm_common(). Fix this by using take_dentry_name_snapshot() for c->destname.
