... so that they can be copied with struct assignment (which generates
better code) and accessed word-by-word.
The type is union shortname_storage; it's a union of arrays of
unsigned char and unsigned long.
struct name_snapshot.inline_name turned into union shortname_storage;
users (all in fs/dcache.c) adjusted.
struct dentry.d_iname has some users outside of fs/dcache.c; to
reduce the amount of noise in commit, it is replaced with
union shortname_storage d_shortname and d_iname is turned into a macro
that expands to d_shortname.string (similar to d_lock handling).
That compat macro is temporary - most of the remaining instances will
be taken out by debugfs series, and once that is merged and few others
are taken care of this will go away.
