Linux: Use __getname()/__putname() to alloc name
The Linux 7.0 commit:
'fs: hide names_cache behind runtime const machinery'
(7ca83f8ebe867)
make names_cachep a private symbol within namei support. The commit:
'struct filename: use names_cachep only for getname() and friends'
(c3a3577cdb351)
instructs users of names_cachep to simply allocate the memory via
kmalloc.
The Linux provided macros __getname() and __putname() perform the
required memory allocation/free, switching from names_cachep to kmalloc
in c3a3577cdb351. These two macros have been available since at least
2.6.18, so there is no need to add a specific autoconf test for them.
Relocate afs_putname() to be ahead of afs_getname() and update to use
__putname() to release the name.
Update afs_getname() to use __getname() to obtain the storage for the
name and call afs__putname() to release the name.
