vfs: use 'unsigned long' accesses for dcache name comparison and hashing
Ok, this is hacky, and only works on little-endian machines with goo unaligned handling. And even then only with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC disabled, since it can access up to 7 bytes after the pathname. But it runs like a bat out of hell. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
