Previously, some sanity check have been done in dump_mapping() before

the print facility parsing '%pd' though, it's still possible to run into

an invalid dentry.d_name.name.

Since dump_mapping() only needs to dump the filename only, retrieve it

by itself in a safer way to prevent an unnecessary crash.

Note that either retrieving the filename with '%pd' or

strncpy_from_kernel_nofault(), the filename could be unreliable.
