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
