hostfs: Add a BUG_ON to detect behavior changes of dentry_path_raw()
hostfs' __dentry_name() relies on the fact that dentry_path_raw() will place the path name at the end of the provided buffer. While this is okay, add a BUG_ON() to detect behavior changes as soon as possible. Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at>
