[PATCH] vfs: use kstrdup() and check failing allocation
- use kstrdup() instead of kmalloc() + memcpy() - return NULL if allocating ->mnt_devname failed - mnt_devname should be const Signed-off-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
