cpuset: fix cpuset_print_task_mems_allowed() vs rename() race
commit 63f43f55 upstream. rename() will change dentry->d_name. The result of this race can be worse than seeing partially rewritten name, but we might access a stale pointer because rename() will re-allocate memory to hold a longer name. It's safe in the protection of dentry->d_lock. v2: check NULL dentry before acquiring dentry lock. Signed-off-by:Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com> Signed-off-by:
