fs/dcache: Use read_word_at_a_time() in dentry_string_cmp()
dentry_string_cmp() performs the word-at-a-time reads from 'cs' and may read slightly more than it was requested in kmallac(). Normally this would make KASAN to report out-of-bounds access, but this was workarounded by commit df4c0e36f1b1 ("fs: dcache: manually unpoison dname after allocation to shut up kasan's reports"). This workaround is not perfect, since it allows out-of-bounds access to dentry's name for all the code, not just in dentry_string_cmp(). So it would be better to use read_word_at_a_time() instead and revert commit df4c0e36f1b1.
