early_res: Need to save the allocation name in drop_range_partial()
During free_early_partial(), reserve_early_without_check() could end extending the early_res area from __check_and_double_early_res(); as a result, the location of the name for the current reservation could change. Therefore, we need to save a local copy of the name.
