efivarfs: guid part of filenames are case-insensitive
commit da27a24383b2b10bf6ebd0db29b325548aafecb4 upstream.
It makes no sense to treat the following filenames as unique,
VarName-abcdefab-abcd-abcd-abcd-abcdefabcdef
VarName-ABCDEFAB-ABCD-ABCD-ABCD-ABCDEFABCDEF
VarName-ABcDEfAB-ABcD-ABcD-ABcD-ABcDEfABcDEf
VarName-aBcDEfAB-aBcD-aBcD-aBcD-aBcDEfaBcDEf
... etc ...
since the guid will be converted into a binary representation, which
has no case.
Roll our own dentry operations so that we can treat the variable name
part of filenames ("VarName" in the above example) as case-sensitive,
but the guid portion as case-insensitive. That way, efivarfs will
refuse to create the above files if any one already exists.
