[PATCH 4/4] vfs: Call d_dname from dentry_path

If the root dentry implements d_dname instead of ignoring it in
__dentry_path call d_dname and return the result.

The motivating example are files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ are bind
mounted into other locations.  This change allow the name of the
dentry that is bind mounted to show up in /proc/<pid>/mountinfo.
However in general this is correct behavior any time dentry_path is
called on a dentry that implements d_dname.
