fsnotify(): switch to passing const struct qstr * for file_name
Note that in fnsotify_move() and fsnotify_link() we are guaranteed that dentry->d_name won't change during the fsnotify() evaluation (by having the parent directory locked exclusive), so we don't need to fetch dentry->d_name.name in the callers. In fsnotify_dirent() the same stability of dentry->d_name is also true, but it's a bit more convoluted - there is one callchain (devpts_pty_new() -> fsnotify_create() -> fsnotify_dirent()) where the parent is _not_ locked, but on devpts ->d_name of everything is unchanging; it has neither explicit nor implicit renames.
