Eric Dumazet c23fbb6bcb VFS: delay the dentry name generation on sockets and pipes
1) Introduces a new method in 'struct dentry_operations'.  This method
   called d_dname() might be called from d_path() to build a pathname for
   special filesystems.  It is called without locks.

   Future patches (if we succeed in having one common dentry for all
   pipes/sockets) may need to change prototype of this method, but we now
   use : char *d_dname(struct dentry *dentry, char *buffer, int buflen);

2) Adds a dynamic_dname() helper function that eases d_dname() implementations

3) Defines d_dname method for sockets : No more sprintf() at socket
   creation.  This is delayed up to the moment someone does an access to
   /proc/pid/fd/...

4) Defines d_dname method for pipes : No more sprintf() at pipe
   creation.  This is delayed up to the moment someone does an access to
   /proc/pid/fd/...

A benchmark consisting of 1.000.000 calls to pipe()/close()/close() gives a
*nice* speedup on my Pentium(M) 1.6 Ghz :

3.090 s instead of 3.450 s
